This seems to understand people from the German Volkswagen with its much-vaunted project of the famous return of old Kombi.
This rumor (after all, that was …) had already been ringing for more than two years ago, but now the topic seems to gain new strength unexpectedly unusual.
Nothing is confirmed, either nothing has been denied and as silence often gives the conviction that silence gives consent, at the slightest sign of someone begins to unleash an unstoppable wave of rumors.
The issue is this: recently, a few hours ago, at the time of opening of the Auto Show in Los Angeles, a journalist came across Klaus Bischoff (Head of German design house) and had a conversation off the record that others resulted from suggestive.
Bischoff said the Volkswagen house is engrossed in the project to give life to a model with global influences and that is a very flexible and versatile vehicle. The issue is that it also said something about the idea of reviving an old project (related to the above) that had not come to see the light in recent years. The good reporter he immediately came to mind the famous Volkswagen Microbus, a great conceptual model Volkswagen Microbus that the brand had made timely a few years ago … and maybe you do not miss a point and approach to thinking about it.
Bischoff said that the idea is to work together among those responsible for designing the European side, those who work in California and also in some other parts of the world, to shape a model that could well be a traditional MPV a fairly conventional interior or at best, could be a much more played, innovative and risky from every point of view, something totally new.
While at any time of that conversation has been appointed Microbus, has not been named Kombi word (or even the Transporter), however for not a few European journalists have been internally Volkswagen “green light” for that project that has been truncated ever alive in some time.
We will monitor the issue and, again, is installed in the environment.
