VW's Space Up!
Los Angeles Convention Center
Different from the car from VW which we saw in Tokyo (or maybe just painted a different color ... We were tired!), Volkswagen's "Space Up!" captured the attention of the media at the show, especially those of So Cal origin, who fondly remember the Volkswagen Bus of the '70s, the one which always blew their engines, underpowered little boxer-style 4-bangers which leaked oil like a sieve. But my 1971 model provided many happy memories! Will VW ever build anything resembling this Van-a-Gon throwback? Don't bet it, at least it will not be sold anytime soon in the US.
