New VW bus.........Oh My God!

Jan 17, 2006 9 Replies

Well, Unless you're a glutton for punishment, I'd say don't buy the next generation of VW bus vans. I read this weekend that VW and Chrysler are Pairing up on this, and the next VW vans will be built by Chrysler, here in the states...........This does not sound inviting at all. Can you say, "Grande Transporter"?

Eh, I wouldn't buy one newer than 1967 so no worries there.

Aw man, and ya know how much I wanted to WASTE A YEAR'S SALARY on some kinda new piece of s*it from Chrysler! Ya big spoil sport. I suppose we can use the money we saved by not buying that POS buying meals for ten years. *sigh*

Wait! Or beer! Okay, everything is okay now.

...Oh wait........what am I saying?.........never mind.

I'd go with the beer idea! I would never even consider a new VW/Chrysler van. Hell, I barely consider anything newer than 67 anyway. Andy

I'm having a hard time thinking that there are no advantages to a newer vehicle for some of us. But literacy aside, I think new cars are pretty well built for the most part nowadays. Most will not make it to be a 35 year old car much less older. Most of that due to lack of interest, parts, or just plain poor design. But that's kinda expected. Nothing against the ol' Bus, and it's full of great "old technology" but there are some things that might be worth looking at. I know I seem to be in full disagreement with myself, but I am not really. I just was amazed with the whole marriage between the two MFG's. I'm pretty sure I won't be spending my dime with them either.

The worste part is the division of labor on this one. As I heard it, VW will be in charge of styling...and chrysler will provide the drive trains.....ackkkk
