The wheels on the bus go round and round…
I’m super looking forward to the (Cincinnati) Auto Show next week.
Though not necessarily in the market for a new ride, I love fiddling with knobs and finding out which vehicles fit tall people.
I’m sad I didn’t make it out to the 2001 show to see the VW minibus concept I dream of owning. In searching for images, I came across another Westfalia concept that looks quite nifty (let the animation unfold).
More sad, current Volkswagens seem to be losing their edge and Buick is stealing their finesse. I doubt the Lucerne has an integrated umbrella holder though…
I missed the auto show this year. I’m really sad too because I am a big Volvo fan and I wanted to see the new hard top convertible. I did get to see/sit in/play with but not drive a new GTI tho. Mmm. I love the new Passat but don’t like it in it’s smaller format, the Jetta. And as far as the Lucerne goes… it looks even more like a Phaeton in the ass than a Passat which is REALLY scary.
I’ve been displeased with VW since the lastest version of the Jetta came out. I loved the one before (um, the round one) so very much and planned to buy one whenever I eventually replace my Civic. I find the new Jettas (and Passats) terribly unattractive though so my love affair with VW has come to an end before it even began.
That westfalia thing is AWESOME.
