i think this TOTALLY sucks. if there is to be such a thing as a "New Bus" featuring retro-styling, i dont think they should make it into a compact station wagon...that would be the ultimate slap in the face... maybe dump the BUTT UGLY EV (sorry EV owners, but those things are ugly..) and have a "New Bus" replace it in the Larger Van class. I will be posting some concept "New Bus" drawings by a auto designer friend of mine, to a website, for all of you to see....stay tuned... chris |
