I'm not at all disappointed to hear that the Microbus is dead. it was
ugly. Yes, it had some cool features, and in the end, that is the point
of concept vehicles to introduce new features.


The split window buses had charm and were vaguely airplane fuselage
like in appearence. I never liked the bay window. I love the Vanagon's
look. The T3/T4/T5 all look just like any other minivan (on the outside
at least).


The Microbus concept certainly had character. But it deserves to be in
some Japanimation, not on the streets.
