The I.D. Buzz packs some nostalgia as well as many new ideas in a bubbly yet familiar packageBy Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla
Detroit- Credit it to the power of nostalgia or the thirst for something completely new, or a mix of both. In its solitary corner at the Cobo Center here in Detroit, the Texas yellow, neon and white I.D. BUZZ, a futuristic re-imagining of the iconic VW Microbus seemed to radiate a strangely seductive glow which seemed to draw the most crowds here at day two of the North American International Auto Show.
There are a handful of Volkswagen models that capture the imagination even with an entire generation of consumers who may not have been alive to actually ride in them. Some, like the Beetle, have been reinvented ad nauseam and others, like the Microbus transporter (or Kombi, if you prefer) and the Karmann-Ghia, have been begging a re-introduction.
