My dad sent me a link to that yesterday.  I want one.   

there is so much opportunity for personality in a vehicle that they seemed to not be taking advantage of. They kinda got it with the new beetle but this new microbus could have more of a face. And I think they could benefit if they made variations to compete with the HHR (the panel type). It seems like a good start and I'd love to see them come back!

I like that they made the emblem on the front bigger but to me they still got the headlights wrong. It's just not a bus without big, round headlights. These slanty-eyed ones don't cut it.

I do agree with the headlight issue.  One thing i didn't care for with the Microbus concept.  I guess it's all in the name of the "corporate fascia"... I would have figured out a way to create more of a "point" at the base of the nose, too.. kinda a throwback to the old splits.

also needs a Type-4 engine with a pre-dropped valve seat to keep it within the correct perspective.

Nein... hence why my ideal concept would honor the Split Buses, not a late model bay.      

But it has a curved windshield and a better interior layout!!!

they could use gangster hampsters to advertise it

Yes, better....
