VW Camper Van is returning, but you won't believe what they've done to it
VOLKSWAGEN is bringing back the iconic T1 Camper Van in 2022, but the new model will be an electric, self-driving version called the I.D Buzz.

Volkswagen is bringing back its iconic T1 camper van back in 2022 – but not quite how you’d imagine.

As part of VW’s new I.D electric car range they are manufacturing the Buzz, a microbus concept, which is based on the famous T1, T2 and T3 Campers "hippy mobile".

VW I.D Buzz was unveiled earlier this year, but now it has been confirmed the vehicle will enter production in 2022.

The I.D Buzz will both be electric-powered and have a degree of autonomy.

Only if they are within the 100 mile radius for a round trip charge on the batteries.

At least they got the "chartreuse" color right. They should also make the interior smell like patchouli oil and bong water...

... and simulated burn holes in the seat fabric from seed pops and dropped roaches. Ahhhh... those were rich days... I just wish I could recall them.

If it doesn't have a popup roof, it ain't a Campmobile!

Here's mine (1966 model, bought be me in 1972), at the first Berkshire Mountains Bluegrass festival on top of the hill at the old Rothvoss farm, a little south of Hillsdale NY, July 1976:
