Volkswagen Bulli Concept Gets Everyone All Excited All Over Again

According to The Detroit Free Press, manufacturers are looking forward to ditching CD players since they are heavy and take up so much valuable real estate. I still have tape decks in two cars of my three cars. My 2007 Mustang GT has a CD changer, but I prefer to just plug my phone into the aux and stream Pandora or Spotify. How about you?

As pointless compilations go, this is right up there with my other favorite: every weird sound Krang ever made in the original TMNT series. This one might be a little more relevant to car enthusiasts, though. Hit the jump for the video! [more]

Volkswagen Bulli Concept Gets Everyone All Excited All Over Again

Last year, when I met with Jill Bratina, VP of Communications for Volkswagen America, she swore up and down that a new VW Bus was not going to happen. I told them that if they did build one, they'd sell a million of them in Seattle alone. So now VW rolls out this concept in Geneva. I think I prefer the 2001 Microbus concept--this Bulli concept might be a little too Scion xBish for me. But still, kind of cool, and I dig the bench seats. More pics after the jump. Via Jalopnik

	By: Grimjoker 3/2/2011 12:56 PM I love this color scheme. Tho it's a bit scion xb'ish...

	By: cknarf 3/2/2011 1:52 PM Switch the running lights with the headlights, and you got something

	By: 66Mope 3/2/2011 2:40 PM cknarf--agreed!

	By: DodgeAdict 3/2/2011 2:41 PM @cknarf-Really? The headlights are really the only part that I really like. --I think that if they did put the Bulli into productoin it would sell very nicely (of course only if they toned down the styleing alil bit) but it would have to fit into the $14K-$19k market segment, it would be the new New Beatle, High School girls everywhere will be getting into fender benders accross the country while tweeting about their new "bus"

	By: SuzyBruisy 3/2/2011 2:43 PM Yeah, they've teased us with this before. I wish they'd just go ahead and build it already.

	By: ___nes___ 3/2/2011 8:45 PM I want to like it but I can't.

	By: ShaddowEdge 3/3/2011 1:29 AM I much prefer the microbus concept. This just doesn't live up to the kombi image.

	By: D-DUBB 3/3/2011 4:47 AM it kinda looks like a retro version of the older vw bus, i like it tho

	By: vielecustoms 3/3/2011 5:24 AM the only thing i don't like is the ipad controlling the radio and hvac controls... so when apples fine product craps out or gets outdated or someone smashes in your window and steals it your pretty much screwed and have no radio or heat / ac untill you can fork over cash for a new one?

	By: usnrocker 3/3/2011 2:41 PM id drive it... in black and white... that or maybe classic with the white and candy apple red...
