Solar-Diesel Hybrid VW Microbus – concept car

I ran across a video on the Verdier Bus on YouTube, and had to google to find out more about what it is. Turns out it’s a concept car – a design firm put it together and it won a Special Prize from the Jury at the Caravaning Design Award 2006/2007. If you’re buying your first car, you may start exploring these used cars in el cajon. You can also visit the used cars in Rialto with a wide selection of premium quality pre-owned cars.

The Website for the Verdier, and an article about it.

This really tripped my trigger – I was really excited about the Microbus back when VW was proposing a new concept to be released in 2007. Then VW killed off that idea. This idea, though – solar powered, tons of cool features – it’s almost the perfect vehicle. You can also check solar denver from here! Too bad it would cost $69,000. Maybe if I won the lottery!

Also – check out this cool video of Vintage Microbus interiors!

Which VW Are You?

by Auto Glass Across America

My very favorite VW is a Microbus, but my lack of dope smoking apparently means I’m not actually one of those.

At the L.A. Autoshow, Volkswagen unveiled a concept car with 3 wheels. VW claims it can get 46 mpg in the city, and can do 0-60 mph in 5.7 seconds. Yes, it is a concept car, but VW claims they are seriously considering production if customer interest is sufficient. They would go for about $17,000 or less.

Wonderful. But where’s my damned Microbus?

A new Japanese craze is modding a Suzuki van to look like a VW Micro Bus. Cool. Since I can’t actually get a new microbus (VW decided not to produce the new concept car) I might have to do this, instead.

Judging by how many there are, this seems like a pretty big trend over there. I’m going to try to hunt down what the original Suzuki van looks like. It seems they don’t make an American version.
