Bring the short wheelbase version to the US. Not everyone in the US wants behemoth landyachts!

*Not bad!* This design will be well accepted in the USA. *Kudos to VW* for persevering with it's own EV evolution and bringing a growing list of new EV choices to market.

I think it looks great.

I think this design really was best case scenario. There’s a great video with Thomas from autogehful and the ID buzz designer that covers how much he fought with vw engineers to stay as true to the concept as possible.

I think it looks good! The concept looked magical though. It looked so simple and smooth and fun. This production version lost some of that clean fun look and replaced it with a mature refined look.

The EV version of the iconic Volkswagen Buzz is fantastic! I cannot wait for this modernized EV van to be on the market!

It's a modern take on the tried and trusted VW Transporter Shuttle that we have come to love and adore over here in Europe. I love the ID Buzz very much. So fresh. Even though I don't have any real need for it (me, a father of two adult children in their 20's), I will still be tempted to buy one just to enjoy that trendy, modern, fresh look. While 204hp is enough for normal everyday European (read that as UK) driving, I'm hoping they'll still crank up the power a bit for no particular reason than to satisfy the young boy/girl inside us all. A 350bhp AWD perhaps 🤔Well, a man is allowed to dream.

I'm fine with everything except how the rear end translated from concept to production. The rear end of the concept looked so much better.

Thank you for this video! One of the more detailed ones out there.

When you get one in the US, bring it to me for a video of a detail!

Buzz, baby!!!!!!

I can't wait for things like this; An EV that isn't trying to be a performance car.🤜🤛

Lots of whimsy and, meager range be damned, might sell by the…busload. I can picture Shaggy sparking up one in front while Fred and Daphne get busy in the back. Ah, nostalgia…

Looks really great!

I really like this!

Like the ID.4, it has the binnacle ON the steering column, so that it's visible no matter where you adjust the wheel. This is a much better solution than a yoke. If the display is accurate, it suggests a 245 mi range at 100%. I'd want more range, bigger battery, and… a camper version.

Wow. Looks good.

Two things I'm interested in seeing, roof rails and a tow hitch. I'm sure both will be available. Looks like a car campers dream.

Love the look - would like them to offer the smaller Euro version in the US too.

Thanks for this great overview, quite an exciting vehicle that looks like it will be worth the wait!

VW please bring this version to the U.S. too. We don't all want a really long version. I want it to fit in my garage.

I am underwhelmed. I was expecting so much more for a vehicle to be released two years from now

Sad that the US market does not get the standard wheelbase.

I like the look. I'm not sure that the european short version might not be better than the long wheel base version. The parts I'm unsure about....drivers position and that huge dash as well as range and power moving that much mass through the air. I'm sure they will sell all they can build

I'm glad they didn't name it ID Rattle.

The short wheel base version should at least come with the the front row 3 seat option that the cargo van gets. It's a missed opportunity

Now Chevy/GM needs to remake the Astro/savanna vans as an EV. I want to see some competition in this space in the next 5 years. I'd drive something like this over a small SUV or crossover.

Hopefully the US version will be 8 passenger and AWD.

@@jamespaul2587 In this case it has nothing to do with supply shortages. VW has decided not to even offer it for sale in US until 2024. Any shortages will be on top of that.

My biggest question is why it will take so long to get a version in the US. There is a market for this, plenty of baby boomers with disposable income. Give it a 100KWh+ battery, awd and it will sellout. VW is the biggest tease..they have been toying with a bus revival for 20yrs. Get with it!

But at least when VW set a date for a model's production, they stick to the date. Unlike Elon who has missed the production dates of the Tesla Roadster and the Cybertruck by several years. At least now we know when the Buzz is coming. It's guaranteed.

I agree. If it comes with a 100kwh battery and a charging curve simular to the ID 4 but at the 170 kw speed. If they wait another 2 years it gives everybody else a chance to steal there sales with another mini van. A niche that is otherwise (i beleave) non-existent.

@@exploreoutthere6678 I'll be watching closely. This is a vehicle begging for adventure(aka roadtrip). It will need to have enough range to comfortably road trip. It seems like my choices are this or a phev Pacifica (or maybe a Sienna prime). I really like the id4, but a hwy range of ~200mi just doesn't work for me. This needs to be at least 275mi(preferably 300+mi hwy).

Love your show. I wanted to alert you to something new though. I took time to write you this,. it is NOT junk so please read. I noticed that Fox News has begun to really push disinformation about EVs and going electric for some reason. Please please remark on this in your upcoming segment. One article in Fox Business today is actually entitled: "Filling a gas-powered vehicle can still be cheaper than charging an electric one." (link below) It only cost me only $15 last month for the 797 miles I drove. Would have cost $106 for a 30 mpg gas car! I'll take my savings thank you. There are LOTS one could report on about the EV revolution but Fox chose to spend time on this kind of message. Similar has been tweeted by them and it MUST be countered with truth. The takeaway from readers (from their comments) is that EVs are too expensive to buy and to operate and will bring down the electric grid! Please also push these important points that get at the heart of current resistance to EVs... + Electricity is Domestically produced, Locally priced. Truly 'American' energy. + Petroleum (even our own domestically produced here) is an International Commodity priced and traded on the world market that we have no control over. + So, Going Electric is Going American!

What a shame about the dashboard and front experience. And what an error to use the ID screens, haptic buttons, general hardware design and ergonomics. Faster chip and software is the least of it’s problems. This is a real problem fit a great exterior and practical design in a short design.

Doomed from the start by capacitive dreck and crappy screens. That’s even before really small range and really big price. Next!

I hate how like 20% of the car is ahead of the driver. It appears to have horrible blindspots and the forward visibility is almost definitely worse than the old VW busses. Apparently VW can't figure out how to make a VW van that is safe in a crash that also has amazing forward visibility. Pretty sad.
