I know this is shameless marketing, but as someone that was born in the eighties, I used to see the VW vans everywhere and that a new generation will get to enjoy that, but without the same environmental impact, makes me a little happy, so I'm sharing in my joy.

I like this. The only problem is these vans are EUR 80k+ which is grossly overpriced for a fucking van in my opinion.

They can’t seem to sell them quickly enough so now at least in Finland these can be found new on sale for around 55k€

The price hasn't been announced yet for the US. Was it already announced overseas?

[–] SatouKazuma@ani.social 1 points 3 months ago

It's already being sold in Europe. Not sure about Japan.

The originals were overpriced too right?

Crazy. Even according inflation this is just above 10k

[–] helenslunch@feddit.nl 5 points 3 months ago

Not really crazy if consider they were just a tin can on wheels.

I stand corrected. Thank you!
