Rumormill: Volkswagen green lights Bulli for production
![](http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2011/03/01-volkswagen-bulli-concept630opt.jpg)
What did you think of Volkswagen's Bulli concept, which was just shown for the first time at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show? VW is apparently hoping you liked it, because rumor (via Autocar in the UK) has it that it's going into production.
The concept version is powered by a 113-horsepower electric motor and a lithium-ion battery pack, which can reportedly be charged in less than an hour. We don't know if the electric powertrain will make it into the production vehicle (our guess would be no, but who knows?), and there is no word on pricing. Still, how cool would it be to once again see a modern Volkswagen Microbus prowling the streets of America? The mind reels at the possibility.

I'm kind of curious to see when Toyota will release the smaller vehicle in the Prius "Family" lineup--I've so far really liked the profile and the awkward hatch-ness of the thing and I quite like this Bulli thing as well.

Looks great. I think it will go over well, but they must change the stupid name.
