Volkswagen has 'reinterpreted' the Microbus as an electric vehicle. With four doors. And an iPad. It's called the Bulli, which is what Germans called the Microbus when it first appeared. Aside from the bench seats, two-tone paint and oversized badge, this concept has little in common with the Transporter that inspired it.
The exact birth of the Volkswagen Type 2, known affectionately as the Microbus or just the Bus, is open to interpretation. Volkswagen says it's 1947, when Dutch VW importer Ben Pon first sketched the design.

Nothing like the original and nothing new either. Quite a remarkable amount of R&D cash to "invent" something that several manufacturers already sell. Essentially VW have jumped on a bandwagon, but tried to claim it's their bandwagon.
