When you review the cars do you rent the cars or do the car companies let you come in to review the car or something? I guess what I'm saying is where do you get the cars to review them
Fun fact about how the new beetle came into existence: VW held a concept design challenge for students back in 1993…. A student of MIT came up with what eventually became known as the VW Concept 1, which later became to be known in 1999 as what we know now as the New Beetle. After that student won the design contest he was awarded a job with VW, but left after a couple years to go to work for Ford, same student also designed the new Thunderbird while at Ford. So I guess this is more than one fun fact. 😎👍
@@forrestsautoreviewsofficial car manufacturers should start using Shaq as an indicator for space. Like "But could you fit Shaq in there tho?" "Ye." "Alright I'll take it."
That electrochroamatic roof is insane. I can only recall one other car having that and that’s the Maybach 62, so the fact VW is putting that in a car that costs a tenth of the price is really cool.
I’m 6’3 and my family is pretty tall. Awesome to see how much leg room it has. To me, as amazing as the electronic wonderland is, leg space is my selling point. Sold
I've driven this car before. Our company has an all white version with the back seats removed. It's super fun to drive around but feels a bit weird because you're sitting so high up and the windshield seems very far away 😅 Oh and since he didn't show it, it launches pretty good too for the fact that it's a bus!
@@Tieme911 oh yeah, I totally agree with that. Driving a basically silent car would be weird. Sound, or the lack there of, is a major factor for me too.
@@ThatSoonerGuyAgreed. I drive a Kia C'eed and gotta love the sound of it when you get to around 4,000 rpm On the plus side, EVs sound and feel like literal spaceships sometimes and you can enjoy the sound of the music more when it's at low volume
@@businessathlet3587there hasn't been a noticeable number of new VW microbuses in the US since the 80s. It would be fun to see the make a comeback here.
@@niklasmeyer9660 they did test & Volkswagens can lose about 30% range in the winter. Still leaving you with about 300km of range which is more than enough for Uber drivers in a city. Also the charge time isn’t long so just plug it in at lunch.
@@niklasmeyer9660 Winter, pfft, summer, too. I used to work at a BMW dealership, the i3s were advertised as having something like a 90 or 100mi range but because the AC had to run nonstop on sunny 95 degree Florida days they'd only get 40 at best.
@@fordsquared537 the type 2 bus as the name says is a bus. Or van as you Americans call it. The country where it was originally made classified it as a van :)
