Use any of these wonderful concepts to break the beige you have created. Any one of them would look good today (minus a slight update to the Dune to newer Beetle shell). The Nanuuk is killing me today with want.

1997 W12 Syncro concept

2000 VW Dune concept

2011 VW Buggy concept

2001 VW Microbus concept

2011 VW Bulli concept

Did I miss any awesome VW concepts of the past 16 years?

Don't forget VW BlueSport Roadster Concept and Cross Blue Concept. They're not wild like most of their concepts and they look doable.

That Beetle Dune brings back memories of Midtown Madness...

The W12 Syncro was separated at birth from its brother, the 1990 Audi Avus Quattro concept...

More recently, we have these gems from VW:

The Amarok Wothersee "power pickup"

Design vision GTI

And this little guy, who almost made it to production... Apparently the tandem seating was too wacky to build, so they went with the XL1.

Ah yes the Avus. I never understood the Dune never making it to production though. They probably could have built it pretty much out of the parts bin. Then maybe my Golf Country lust would abate... Some good ones you tossed into the mix there. The 1l would have been awesome, and doable for less than half the xl1 in my eyes, but I think the xl became a real vision because it is saleable.

The VW GX3 concept was pretty awesome.
