I need an automated, 30-year driving 60 miles to and from work on Virginia's longest public parking lot, I64, first gear, just to second, stop, first to second, stop, repeat, my knee wore out. Put in a French electric semi-automatic, please.
A 4 cyl boxer engine. Six-speed manual like in the Subaru MBX. Rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive for midwestern drives with all the snow. Then, the car will get around like the VW Beetle did. My opinion is my own.
I hear you on the no turbo. All the dealers say they're better these days and don't have the troubles like they used to. But still everyone I know that has one, except for one person, has had turbo troubles. That one person drives an Audi so maybe they have better turbos. But she's had plenty of other troubles so I've no desire to go the Audi route either.
It would be nice if these car companies could just make a simple, small cheap car for the masses without all the needless doo dads. We need a modern vw beetle working people can afford
A Gremlin would out-do a Beetle in every way. But a new one would be trash. There are plenty of old ones. If you can afford a new car, you can afford an old one.
@snowgorilla9789 You mean you don't want a built-in GPS, maps stop being updated. Or electronics that they don't make anymore as a swap out, because repairing the unit isn't economically feasible, so off to junk yard for repairing?
On the face of it, this is just the car that is needed - but without the entertainment gadgets and so many "safety features", most of which are unnecessary. Let us please have a small, but comfortable car which has long term reliability and is a pleasure to drive!
stanthesteelguitarman....entertainment gadgets and safety features and useless features like automatic tailgate ....all these "toys" rely on sensors which = $$$$ . I drive a 2005 Toyota Highlander , 180,000 miles , runs terrific. Don't need car payments and the added cost that many people don't figure in: the higher insurance . Good night.

Nice, but please do it without 1000 electronics. No driver assistance bs. Just ABS brakes, electric windows (although manually wind up windows would be good as well), two airbags, central locking, engine immobilizer and an alarm. The basics.
If it truly is supposed to be a Subaru 360, it should have suicide doors. . .I had one in the 1970's, it was unstoppable, although you couldn't seat anyone in the back seat unless they had no legs.
It's what VW could've done with the Bus. Don't try to modernize it. People who loved the Bus loved it for what it was and not for what VW wanted to do with it. This classic looking Subaru is still cool as hell.
Plz don’t let this be BS, simple everything would be appreciated. I already own an EV and would appreciate an old simple fun car that could be an everyday driver
Awesome! I kept bugging my parents to get one of these in the late '60s. I had the brochure for this too. If they can make it run on green gas, they'll have a winner. Plug-in hybrids will also be a popular way to transition for some time to come. It had a little 2-cylinder, air-cooled engine and louvers in the rear hood back then.
As long as this car doesn't become HUGE! Like what has been done to the Fiat 500 and the Mini. Both of these cars started off true to the original and then became BIG!!!
Those are two different cars in the video. When you see the front the body is flat over the wheel cases (not like a VW Bug) but when you see it from the rear there are covers over the wheels (like it was with the VW). To me the whole thing looks like a bad AI production. Also, it looks like the front hood doesn’t open at all. Is the engine in the rear like the VW Beetle was? Where is the cargo space? I am anything but impressed. It looks totally fake!
@@nathangoshawk Yes, exactly! But that disclaimer flashes in so quickly that you have to stop the video immediately after starting it to even read it. It’s quite deceptive!
I like it. Has a bit of that "Volkswagen look" in it and, hopefully, will give you what you need without all the supposed extras you don't need. I have owned two "Beetles" in my life and I remember them fondly.
Reminds me of one of my first cars, a basic 1960's VW Beetle. That car was so simple that to tune it up I sat on a stool behind the rear engine and turned the carburetor screw until the radio antenna quit vibrating.
Hey AI, you can do better. In this series of renderings there are some boo-boos... 1. The single door mounted rear view mirror is on the opposite side from the driver position. If a vehicle has a single door mounted external mirror (probably not legal for 2025), it is always on the driver's side. 2. Building on error #1, the side views look more like mirror images with the steering wheel, tailpipe, weird fuel filler neck (and improperly placed mirror) switching to opposite sides. 3. Perhaps the rear turn signal and back up lights are incorporated into the single taillight. However, the lens appears to be solid red which is not street legal.
In a mechanics manual for Subaru back in the, 90s, it described the history of Subaru. During WW ii Subaru took the beetle design and changed it to make the Subaru
This Subaru rendition of a “retro microcar ,” looks a lot like a copy of the Volkswagen Beetle. I doubt that a 2025 Subaru 360 (which I doubt would be sold in the U.S.) would be exactly like the concept car shown in this video. For one, it got those air vent windows that modern cars no longer use, and if there will be a production car it most likely have some differences from the concept one because it would have to comply with specifications according to government regulations. Nevertheless, it looks like a nice car to have, especially in city commute.
I remember the original Subaru 360. The "360" designated the size of the engine 360 cc or 22 cubic inches. They sold them on abandoned Christmas tree lots or gave them away with really cheezy tract houses. The importer was Malcolm Bricklin, creator of an even worse car, the Bricklin SV-1.
My first sight, form,shape like a volkswagen1960, front grill Ike a Simca 1950, rear view like an Austin Morris ,and now it is fascinated to me at all.
Classic and beautiful, yes like others I would also like a car with basic functions , good suspension, something that can be fixed if it breaks downon n that long drive.
I like it better than the retro Fiat. I agree with the comments about keeping it simple and basic and I hope they keep it affordable these could be very popular like old school VW Beetles easy to maintain with cheap replacement parts
Totally A.I. voice and video fantasy concept car. Subaru is not bringing back the 360, especially in the USA. And you managed to pack quite a load of marketing gibberish into a 2:30 video, too.
Volkswagen shouldn't have stopped the production of the Ɓeatle. There's still definitely a market for this iconic car, without the bells and whistles of current models. From the rear this Subaru resembles a Beatle.
Lovely!!!!!!! Hope it will be simple, reliable and affordable, as many (“real”) car lovers wish for… the Very cool looks and character are already there…
Nice looking car. I would want one with manual windows. I don't need electric windows. I'm tired of electric windows that stop working when we need them to to work.
Depending on the price, it will be a rare or popular icon in the history of automobiles. It has the visual appeal of a Beetle, mixed with its rich cousin, Porsche, without losing the personality of someone who is japanese and has a Subaru engine. Even Beetles, when they get jealous, like to trade their air-cooled engine for the power of a Subaru... It's very much in keeping with today's times... I want one now! I'll trade it for my beloved and fifty-year-old Beetle...
I think it is a beautiful automobile, and a great idea. But I also agree with many of the comments below in the old days you could buy a strip down version and pay for upgrades like crank windows or electric. Standard transmission or automatics,AC or not etc. The working class and I mean below the middle class, kids going out on their own for the first time and a market that is completely being ignored is seniors on a fixed income. They need an affordable note per month and they don’t need a lot of vehicle. They just need something dependable and affordable, mainly to drive around town shop and make appointments something inexpensive and dependable. I think this vehicle should have all the options strip down to basics all the way up to loaded. It could be the greatest hit of all time if they could meet the demand, All would benefit..
The dialog discusses a rumour about the possibility of a new version, but the pictures are of the original 360. There's no way to bring anything to market without front window pillars that meet rollover protection standards, or head restraints, multi-point seatbelts, front/rear bumper impact standards, and a ton of other safety requirements. The pictures do not show those mandatory items. Just as when FIAT decided to relaunch a 500 model, it only vaguely resembled the original. Same with the Mini, the New Beetle, same with the Dodge Challenger for that matter. After adding the safety stuff, any new new 360 will be double the original's weight. Plus it will surely be run by a complex Body Control Module connected to everything, unique to that particular serial number like everything else built in the last decade or two, and we all know how that can turn out...
Make that a manual and a basic engine without all the components you don’t need . Winner!
No turbo wanted. It is city car, does not have to be fast.
I need an automated, 30-year driving 60 miles to and from work on Virginia's longest public parking lot, I64, first gear, just to second, stop, first to second, stop, repeat, my knee wore out.
Put in a French electric semi-automatic, please.
No manual!
A 4 cyl boxer engine. Six-speed manual like in the Subaru MBX.
Rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive for midwestern drives with all the snow.
Then, the car will get around like the VW Beetle did.
My opinion is my own.
I'm all for that!!
Just put in a non turbo engine and cut out all the electronics. Just need a simple car with a decent heater. This looks good and could beat winner.
Agreed.
And use real sealed beam headlights. No foggy, yellowing plastic, and they melt off snow and ice.
I like the simple mechanical cars.
Good idea
And A/C.

Or electronics that they don't make anymore as a swap out, because repairing the unit isn't economically feasible, so off to junk yard for repairing?
@markraciborski4289 Yep. Seen enough electronic obsolescence cycles to buy into that. I just use cellphone for GPS. It's easy to swap out.😉
It only looks basic. It most likely has 50 to 100 computers connected by a bus.
Make It old school though, without driver assist and nonsense

exactly what I thought ! Front Mini, back and side Beetle
Yes!!!! Jajaja😊
VW bug body

You're right ..like the last beetle ..
50s vibe, mini front, beetle back.
Verdade!!🎉🎉🎉
Finally a car with individuality and character. Looks like a cross between a mini and a beetle.
A very clever design.
Actually they started to manufacture Subaru 360 in 1958.
Nice, but please do it without 1000 electronics. No driver assistance bs. Just ABS brakes, electric windows (although manually wind up windows would be good as well), two airbags, central locking, engine immobilizer and an alarm. The basics.
And a great radio and speakers for those tunes.
And automatic airco 😅
@@jangoossens3223 Pero y empiezan a agregar cosas, después nos quejamos.

No ABS. They use wheel bearings that fail and cost $200.
I hope this comes to market, it looks brilliant. Shame about the hyperbolic script and robotic narrative.
These don't come to market.
If it truly is supposed to be a Subaru 360, it should have suicide doors. . .I had one in the 1970's, it was unstoppable, although you couldn't seat anyone in the back seat unless they had no legs.

it is a nice looking car.
It looks a lot like a classic VW Beetle. I would go for the classic Beetle.
1000% cosigner
Not me, this is more elegant and retro.
The market has forgotten people like inexpensive, reliable cars. If they make this car in the US, it will be successful.
This is the answer to the big beautiful trucks and SUVs ruling the US roads
Beautiful you say? Maybe, practical mostly not. 1 person in a car mostly,2 persons in a car regularly, 3 or more un-common.
This is a car I’d buy! Stylish but not over the top. A winner! 🏆
Before I read the details, thought it was a reimage of the Beetle.
Subaru 360 from the late 1960s. This is pretty close to the shape, though the coach roof was taller.
If they put a stick shift in I would definitely drive it.
Anyone else see a hint of Porsche along with the Beetle?
i see an old subaru 360 with dashes of porsche, alfa, vw, triumph, and austin healey .
I see a VW bug and Porsche combo
It looks like a blend of VW Beetle, Citroen, and Mini all in one.
It's what VW could've done with the Bus. Don't try to modernize it. People who loved the Bus loved it for what it was and not for what VW wanted to do with it. This classic looking Subaru is still cool as hell.
Cool a Volkswagen Subaru!
Looks like a modern VW Bug.
I was just thinking it looked like a cross between a bug and a old porsche

Nope, a modernized Subaru 360; not any of those other brands.

I don’t think it was a real car, just a plastic toy, because I don’t see how hood supposed to be opened without any lines…
@@Mr.Bio-Chem Not a toy. It doesn't exist!

Leave the turbo in the car. Nice looking vehicle. Thanks
i've already got one of those but without the electronic fluff and a little more stylish , i call it the v/w 1970 bug , and yea , we're still rollin!.
