“I would not be doing my job at Volkswagen properly if I was not thinking of bringing back the Camper”
Confirming that plans for a Volkswagen concept are in the works, Bischoff also revealed that the 2001 Microbus concept was not put into production because of cost concerns. He said that looking forward towards the next concept
“The key question is ‘what sort of car should we build?’ It could be a traditional MPV, with a conventional interior, or we could be much bolder, designing a more flexible, versatile machine – perhaps one that is closer in spirit to the original model. It is not yet decided.”

C’mon guys, this isn’t hard.
Build a compact hybrid Microbus. This will be a HUGE hit. Small diesel engine in the rear, batteries, front wheel electric drive. Compact outside, panoramic views, big on the inside.
Then do a Thing2 [Safari] 4wheel drive.
And then a new Ghia compact.
Christ, enough with the Beetles, already, unless you’re going to make a pickup version.
