not a bus at all...(OWNER of the 4 previous "BUS" body styles)...hate it...scion already has an X-Box.....no way shape or form falls into a "Bus" mold & Format.........which makes me wonder what niche VW fills in the commercial "Van" class.........it sure as hell wouldnt be this thimble

where in the title does it say "bus"?..... it reads as "microbus".... might explain some things

GENEVA – Volkswagen AG is resurrecting its iconic microbus, which debuted in 1950 and became a favorite of hippies for its unique styling and copious space for travelers.

I'm guessing that even VW does not know their own lingo with the real hippie bus name. When i saw it in front of the Yahoo page it said BUS, but when clicked, it said microbus, hmmmmm they got me, those turds.

which is the best of the worst? The vw looks more like an adult mini cooper than the 60s microbus. I cant say for sure but I assume the microbus/hippie connection comes from the original term microdot from the old term for a hit of acid or LSD as it were.

Well I was excited at first, but the pictures and prjected size was a huge let down. I do like the clasic paint line,but the head lights should be some what round.

they were called microbus's prior to acid...and the micro's were the ones with the rows of mini windows around the edge of the roof...a microscope effect

Facts below show LSD was out 12 years before the Bus and was used for trips 7 years before. The beleif it was the mini windows is an old wives tale as the first buses did not have the windows and the term was used prior to that optin

The psychedelic drug/entheogen LSD was first synthesized by the Swiss chemist Albert Hofmann in the Sandoz (now Novartis) laboratories in Basel, Switzerland November 16, 1938.[1] It was not until five years later on April 19, 1943, that the psychedelic properties were discovered.

shows not all had the windows around the top

and the VW Bus was not introduced until

The Volkswagen Type 2, officially known as the Transporter or informally as Bus or Camper, was a panel van introduced in 1950 by German automaker Volkswagen as its second car model — following and initially deriving from Volkswagen's first model, the Type 1 (Beetle).
