They changed the name to xbus.
Not sure if that’s any better, but the design is actually more alike the old veteran VW busses than VW’s own electric bus. I dig it.

Nah, it was a German company.
I think the issue was that their batteries were already outdated before it made it through the pre-order phase.

I’d argue that the id.Buzz actually existing makes more alike the old busses from the 50s and 60s.

I think it hits the right demography, but other than that the ID.Buzz is basically an SUV with a different exterior.
Modern safety regulations probably disallow the horizontal steering wheel from the original bus, but that’s definitely one of the things I miss in modern vans/busses.
