I looked at it for a while before the real problem hit me.

What was the most distinctive thing about the old vans, visually?  The
front end design.  That huge VW emblem, the wild-eyed round headlamps, and
the swoopy chrome accents.  They've *completely* missed that in the
concept.  As a result it doesn't look anything like a real Microbus --
it's barely even reminiscent of it.
