VW Kombi Van
You can still buy a brand new 1960’s styled VW van but you’ll have to live in Brazil to drive back in time. The VW Kombi comes in white or white and features some kind of gas/ethanol flex fuel engine.
How to Help GM
Does a bailout of GM guarantee that they’ll actually start making products that Americans will dream about buying again? The one string (rope) that I would like to see attached to a GM bailout is a “2 brand restriction”. In order to receive a government bailout GM gets to operate and market two brands and that’s it. No more Buick, no more Saturn; just two brands like say Chevy and Cadillac. I think the reason why GM is in it’s current pickle isn’t entirely because of the unions or the high gas prices of 6 six months ago, it’s because of a complete lack of product focus. Restrict GM to two brands and prescribe some corporate Ritalin.
