Volkswagen - After 20 years we finally got it right - printad, 1981

AFTER 20 YEARS WE FINALLY GOT IT RIGHT.

Don't get us wrong.
We got it right 20 years ago.
Even then our big Volkswagen was still the most revolutionary wagon of its time. It could carry about twice as much as the average station wagon.
Only one small problem: Some people thought it was funny looking.
Back to the drawing boards.
Over the years we came up with a modern, aerodynamic body.
We also made the windows bigger. The doors bigger. The interior bigger. And more comfortable.
The dash more dashing. The engine more energetic. And the suspension more sophisticated.
Which led Car and Driver Magazine to say: "What we have here is the Porsche 911 of vans. The Vanagon goes down the road with a car-like assurance that's never existed in vehicles of this type before."
In short, there isn't a nut or even a bolt that we haven't refined or redesigned since we produced our vintage '61 Bus.
So, in every way, we think that our '81 Vanagon is the most beautiful big Bus we've ever produced.
Alas, one small problem:
Some people still think it's funny looking.
 

Volkswagen does it again.
