ID Buzz

[Corradobrit]

My problem with this design is that it’s a long nose car based ID3 platform with a false nose stuck on top of the hood, which begins at the front of the window frame of the driver’s door. Just look at the distance from the front bumper to the front seat. We have vans for a reason: space efficiency. If we didn’t care about that, there are lots of SUVs that share the same limited interior space compared with overall length. I recognize that VW is trying to save money by basing the Buzz and Multivan on car platforms and farming out the production of the new Transporter to a rebadged Transit made by Ford in Turkey in order to pay the fines of the diesel scandal, but just how stupid do they think we are? Expecting us to accept a double A pillar over the hood of a car chassis that obstructs forward vision, all to make it look like a “van” is insulting to those of us who have made VW vans iconic for over 50 years.View attachment 128328

The MQB and MEB chassis concepts was genius from VW's perspective as a money saving tech. Its almost like they knew the sh!t was about to hit the fan. MQB introduced in 2012, dieselgate 09/2015 for vehicles manufactured 2009-2015.

Got themselves in another pickle, not quite good enough and over reliant on the brand name/history. And too expensive for the current climate. Where they should have invested the brand loyalty and heritage they’ve handed the primacy to Ford. The car range is falling behind too and looking long in the tooth, they’ve stagged on the ICE range way longer than they should and the EVs are starting to look outdated too - other than the excellent if slightly boring ID7. We have had an ID4 for a few years now which has been great but I wouldn’t buy one now at list against the competition.

I’d still like one, if they were cheaper and didn’t depreciate so fast and I had some money, which I don’t ha

VW themselves seem to be suggesting not to buy any of their range until the 2026 m/y are released!!

For an EV the Buzz isn’t terrible for depreciation.

However, they are expensive and not flexible enough to cover enough real world use (which is largely a software issue, V2L, V2H, V2G should all be fully and easily supported).

There’s something fundamental with the Volkswagen brand these days and that is the designs just aren’t good enough and they’ve forgotten what their name actually means!
