It's inability to protect front seat passengers in a head on collision was one of the reasons for the original type 2's end of production here. I'm not sure how this is addressed in this new model, but it certainly has all the styling cues of a microbus.

Also appears to have solar panels in the roof under the surf boards.

Watch the video-- plenty of room in front of front seats for crumpling. They couldn't... TreasonousBastard Jul 2020 #14
