The original Volkswagen Microbus is an automotive icon, which might explain why VW has taken so long to launch a follow-up.

After showing multiple Mircobus-inspired concept cars, VW unveiled an all-electric Microbus concept at the 2017 Detroit Auto Show,

While the world oohed and aahed at that concept (and we drove it), VW took its sweet time on the production model.

The Volkswagen ID. Buzz finally made its debut online today, and still won’t go on sale in the United States until 2024.

It’s not just a retro fashion statement, either. The ID. Buzz was engineered by Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, so it should appeal to tradespeople as well as hippies and surfers.
