That would be awesome. Too bad its not for the US market.

You would think that a vehicle that's been around for 60ish years would LOOK different now. No?
I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

The reputation of diesels is irreversible poison. Diesels were their bread and butter. That means evolving in a whole new direction or going bankrupt. You might want to research the problems Tesla is having getting the Model 3 to the 400,000 people that put a deposit down expecting a $35,000.00 vehicle with a $7,500.00 tax credit. Tesla has almost used up the 200,000 tax credits that they are allowed and they are only producing the loaded versions that start at $41,000.00.

Electric only, supposed to have about 300 miles of range.

The T6 is pretty close to the previous T5, looks almost the same. We've had T6 vans and sent them back because of the diesel engine faulting and going into limp home mode. Both the T5 and T6 are small vans and being front engined means that there's not a lot of space in the back once the bed folds down. We've camped in one and my brother owns a T5 California - he does travel / camp a lot. My old T2 (1972) feels more roomy in the back because the front cab is so much further forward with the rear engine. Seats 6 as well.
The T5 ran for a long time and there's a lot of businesses converting them into California look alikes. If you got the T5 in the US as a van, a conversion can be as good as / better than the VW original. -
Interesting, never really thought about it but @Eoin, having done so it becomes clear (at least the H4) an engine can fit in front, back or center, but it can be only 24 inches off the floor, which blocks a driver more than a bed in the back.

So the electric should have much more room, with batteries flat and down low. But I wouldn’t venture off the beaten path with a full electric. KOA maybe, but that kind of defeats the purpose.

Cool VW - the closest I've owned is the lego model I put together

Very cool. That's gonna be a big hit when it hits our shores. That could be a great retirement road trip vehicle when the time comes.
Had to laugh when he came out of the closet during the video.

That is cool...but way to many moving parts to break considering it is a VW. I guarantee if it ever comea to the US it will be a money pit.Which came first the chicken or the egg? I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

Before sales tax $50,000 base model up to $70,000 top model. Plenty of extras to add whichever model you go for. 5 years ago my brother's T5 was pushing $70,000 by the time he added up the options. I think you can add $10,000 easily. It's not a cheap option.

To be clear, mine wasn't a camper. I did have to replace the clutch, but otherwise it was pretty inexpensive for me to maintain._____________
