I agree - there is a lot lacking in the overall design. A few years ago someone sent
a concept sketch to Road & Track of the front of a "New Beetle" grafted onto a
Splitty - it actually looked quite good ! There was a balance and spark in that
design that would be worth developing. The "Bulli" seems more like a high school
sketch that went wrong...

Oh, yes - since it is Friday

A few weeks ago someone complained that the Mercedes/Freightliner Sprinter looked
like a "typical delivery van" or words to that effect. What does he think the VW
Microbuses, Vanagons and Eurovans are?
