BINGO! Yep! That's it! Fur sure! Now you've got it! There you go! Uh Huh! Yes! Definitely, that's the problem!

"I looked at it for a while before the real problem hit me.

What was the most distinctive thing about the old vans, visually? The front end design. That huge VW emblem, the wild-eyed round headlamps, and the swoopy chrome accents. They've *completely* missed that in the concept. As a result it doesn't look anything like a real Microbus -- it's barely even reminiscent of it."

Anyone have a copy of that yellow and black concept drawing that somebody did right after the "New" Microbus concept was introduced? I'd like to see it again as it was a MUCH better concept. There was an alternate concepts website somewhere but I can't find it.

Jeff Warner Galloway, OH VW Stuff coming out of my ears.
