First one of these I’ve seen in real life. I want one so bad but they’re expensive and suck ass.

I went to check them out at the dealership. If it wasn't for the shit range I'd trade in the Odyssey in a heartbeat.

Yeah, it’s a shame they look so cool but everything else sucks. And the pricing is nuts for how bad they suck. VW was supposed to be making cool EVs people can afford and they shit the bed on that one.

I was told on this thread this these are a big deal. Fits in with the $150k Sprinter Vans in this town.

I've seen more and more in Bedminster/Bernardsville. It's like the new, old Discoverys.

I wonder how much the roof top tent is for show. If you can afford one of these you can afford to get an AirBnB.

It's for show to say look at me.

Not my fav model year but could hear the rumble from where I was waiting pretty far back at the red light. Also was manual trans so sounded great rolling out.

100% for show. I haven't even passed one on a gravel road yet.

Remember when the Rav 4 was this small and the fiberglass roof could be removed.

 

[Santapez]

Unexpected. Not the same one. This guy isn't hiding that he stays in the AirBnB. Then again four bike rack, not gonna fit four people in the roof top tent.

Leaving work this afternoon heard a distinctive rumble and this thing came by. Sounded somewhat modified at least the exhaust.

Sometimes I wonder how we work for the same company and he’s driving that and I’m driving a 12 year old Hyundai. Sigh.

Don’t need 4 up top. When we camp the wife and I get the rooftop tent, the kids and doggo go old skool.

So yes, the wife and I glamp while the kids camp.

I love the gen 1s. Been looking for one to drive into NYC as a commuter. But very few two doors out there in decent condition with lowish miles

 

[Red Mosquito]

A few recent sigtings. The Chevy Opala was a weird one, I took pics because at first I thought it was an original gen Tempo with Chevy emblems on it as a joke, but it turns out they were big in South America.

 

[Red Mosquito]

Few more at the office today

Always liked the 2nd and 3rd gens the best, maybe just because that’s what I’ve ridden in. My brother had a 76 with t-tops that was totally rotted out. Holes in the floor, and if you put your hand up to the t-top rails you could feel everything flex when he hit the gas. Fun times!

But does he have a killer collection of bikes? 😁

Familiar van at a familiar spot when I was there back in April. That's my Ford Transit next to it.

Saw this in the parking lot of Ludlum Island Brewing in Woodbine. Right hand drive. My van towered over it.
