I know this isn't the same as the concept, but wouldn't it be cool if it were a reasonably priced bus? It's a little wild.


Follow story here:
verdier reinvented microbus
I'd so hit that! Maybe not he Westy version, but a hard top version for sure.

And yes, a TDI would fit the bill

Yeah, unrealistic WVO/hybrid hippie dream. WVO kills engines, especially modern and emissions-friendly engines.

I would love one with a TDI and six speed manual, would be a good family vehicle. Sadly probably won't ever happen though with our diesel-unfriendly CARB and EPA regulations.
