Saw this on a L ifehacker post

Is this a South America model, or something?

Looks like a B razilian watercooled bus.

Yup. VW Brazil produced the Type 2 right up until 2013. At some point they switched it to water cooling, which necessitated that grille.

Yup. They threw inline fours in there. 1.8 and 1.5 from other VWs. I think the later one was from a Polo/Fox.

I like how goofy they look for some reason.
