Post by: VWPANZER1 on March 02, 2011, 06:05:17 pm: There's a picture of the new Micro bus in this month's Car and Driver. It's red and white and looks just more like the old bus that has been customized. I'm not crazy about the above picture but really like the one in Car and Driver.

Post by: matt on March 03, 2011, 08:12:31 pm: I'd pass and buy something else for that price! whoa.
Could have been better designed I think. Wonder how the inside looks.....like a regualar minivan probably. Nothing like the nice old classic buses..... well, if you LIKED the old classic buses...

30 to 40 big ones & no bed. I changed my mind. All looks & no substance. [gunfiring\ ?/moon2.. Nothing more than fad & fasion &rant(( Think I'll stick with my Bay Window

Post by: VWPANZER1 on March 03, 2011, 11:46:27 pm: Don't be too quick to judge. It looks like the back rest may fold down to make one big queen bed,

Remember in those old buses there's nothing but sheet metal in the front, between you and disaster.

I had three VW buses (a Delivery van and pickup) and when I bought a Ford Van I thought I died and went to van heaven.
I had heat in 10 minutes, I could pass cars and I carry two motorcycles.

The new van looks like a classic with a chopped top and then Chip Fooze took over, WAY COOL.
Power from a front engine? Airbags all around, Whats not to love except for the price and that bound to drop- It's all tied with the dollar vs the Euro. 2@cent

Post by: lovebus (jack) on March 04, 2011, 06:41:24 am: The back seat does fold down but they say it is less then 6' long and short on leg room when down for the bed.

If I was going to wreck in a nice old bus, I wouldnt want to survive anyway.

Remmember, old blue uses a 1/2 full tank of of 93 octane as an airbag but that is the cool factor is about these cars.

Drive it like your not afraid to wreck it

What bed? it's for cargo. There are no bed cushions...

You'd have to bring an air mattress.... and one that does not leak in the middle of the night on cold hard ground, ....

....oh, the very recent memories.....
