Those were sort of my thoughts as well Richard - take this out of the
"Return of the Micro Bus" category and on it's own it looks like a pretty
neat vehicle. I kind of think it looks like VW's version of a Honda Element
or other similar vehicles.

You're right though as a camper or a general "do it all" type vehicle -
forget it not nearly the right dimesnions or set up. Hopefully this isn't
all they are planning.
