I liked the article about the VW bus in the New Yorker this week.
There is a nice discussion of the history of the Bus and how it came to be. I didn’t know some of that stuff, but I could relate to the part about the six wrenches you needed to keep an air-cooled VW alive (I had a 1971 Karmann-Ghia back in the day).
The VW ID.Buzz looks pretty cool but is definitely a different vibe than the old VB Bus. I’d need to actually drive it to decide whether something like that makes any sense for me. But, one thing is for sure: this ain’t your father’s VW.
