It’s not real because VW knows how many recalls they would have on all the fancy electronics. Why can’t car manufactures realize that real car enthusiasts what a chrome plated mechanical car, not a robot with wheels and a bunch of diodes that break and look cheap.
- rectangular shape
- round corners
- glass
- swipe to open
Oh god, Volkswagen better get prepared, cuz the Church of Apple is guaranteed to sue them now.
no diesel?
This is ugly
sooooooooooooo bad desing
what the fuck is that
It actually runs on coal.
Be-a-utiful designe! Hopefully they release also a version w/o electric engine. Voice control and swiping is unnecessary, too!
He just activate Siri LOL
Future automobile — more advanced than ever to distract you from driving.
Seriously? That was one of the most highly anticipated launches at CES??? I kinda doubt that.
When someone is next to your car in a traffic jam and you opened up your window and the person next to you says: ”He budd‑e open the front left door.”.….Mind would be blown.
Hopefully the company has enough money left over to make it…
Even though it’s electric it stiill wont pass the emissions test. =)
vw the best!!
Yet another crappy VW electric vehicle “concept” that isn’t going into production for years, if ever. And this one looks like it has 0.001% of the Microbus DNA in it.. mostly in the form of the badge on the front. It looks more like a giant Mini on steroids than a VW bus.
Come on VW: stop pissing around. Just build a classic bus body with an electric drive train under the floor and a >250 mile range. It shouldn’t be this difficult for a supposedly competent car company to manage surely?
I think that thing is cool af!
Not as cool as the vintage one… it just looks like a LED-ed minivan that your mom drove you to school in
Most anticipated? At a car show, it’d be yet another concept. Big deal. That said, now that VW has ruined their brand, it’d be in their best interest to ASAP some of their concepts. For a bus concept, they could take the core of what made their last buses so popular — namely freedom, and if they were to be so honest sex & drugs or at least partying — and roll that in. I don’t think you have too much freedom and certainly can’t have sex in a tiny bus. But nice try. And festival goers in Europe really need something to sleep in. So do American burners.
Watch it fail emissions also.
They screwed up the iconic vw microbus WHY WHY
why was this video so quiet?
It’s pronounced “Folks-Vagen”.
why didn’t they just call it the type‑2? I’d hate to say that I drive my budde
Hey Budd‑e? really? I mean… REALLY!?
Take my money…
really Volkswagen designers o.O
Im on the road for 200 subscribers.Sub me and I will sub back
…some bad modelled details like the tank radii.…maybe a result of a fast cad-designed/milled prototype…
The very special white color (applewhite?) does a lot for the visual appearance !
Thanks for activating my phone’s Google Now… :p
This is not a modern version of the microbus. Its too complicated!! If you are going to make a microbus make is simple & rugged like its grandfather!
Good job making the microbus look absolutely nothing like the microbus.
Well at least I have a car named after me
I can’t help but think this looks like the Range Rovers retarded cousin.
ugly hooked nose, refinement is losing in future, but im just an old grumpy man
