VW mulling Microbus-style CUV to ramp up segment sales
http://www.autoblog.com/2012/09/10/v...segment-sales/
Automotive News says it hears VW is planning a couple of crossover variants, the most interesting of which concerns a possible greenlight for the Microbus-inspired Bulli concept from the 2011 Geneva Motor Show. Unnamed VW executives are said to have expressed interest in a Microbus-type crossover large enough for five adults. We think a retro-themed Veedub bus would look very nice next to the newly restyled Beetle.

I would agree. While VW has been toying around with resurrecting a neo Microbus -- with various concepts -- I'm surprised they've never pulled the trigger on one. Such a vehicle might even make a minivan actually hip.

Yeah, perhaps something based off the Passat chassis would make more sense.
