If VW would build my first car again I’d sure buy another. 1964 Safari bus. They sell for a fortune these days, you would think that would be a clue that there’s a big enough demand to bring it back.

“Close to what I’ve been watching for. Subaru and Audi come close, but I don’t know that they have manual transmissions anymore. Turbo diesel is the way to go.
VW and Audi, and BMW sell turbo-diesel with manual.
Just over $20,000 for VW Golf or Jetta with manual, about $25,000 loaded, automatic, sunroof, satellite radio.
Why the “America Too Big to Fail Three” don’t offer us diesel is simple: No imagination, no risks.

They are making their Passat at their new factory in
Chattanooga, Tenn. It comes in turbo-diesel, too. Full sized sedan by current standards.
