It's no secret that many Volkswagen drivers out there have been yearning for a throwback to the classic VW vans of decades past. We here at Platinum Volkswagen hear you loud and clear as do the very people at our favorite German automaker. They've opted to bring a new option for those who love the classic styling of the Volkswagen van in a new model called the Volkswagen California Beach

The name might seem a bit odd, especially when you consider the fact that right now the vehicle is only sold in the UK. But, anyone who has ever been to the wonderful beaches of California knows what a delight it is to spend those warm summer nights camping out, listening to the waves crash onto the shore. Volkswagen is simply trying to capture that essence in this new ride.

And why wouldn't they? With a an extendable roof and kitchenette, featuring an electric stove and sink, this is the ideal vehicle for doing everything that you want on the road or on a nice camping trip. As we said previously, this new model is only available in the UK, but that doesn't mean that Volkswagen won't soon change its mind and start offering at dealerships in the U.S., such as ours at 340 West Old Country Road Hicksville, NY 11801.

Motor Trend asked "Is there a market for driving California Beach vans to California beaches?" We certainly hope so! This is one Volkswagen model that we think could generate some seriously good buzz for the German automaker.¹
