If you're looking for a SUV version then check out our latest video of the VW I. D. Crozz: ua-cam.com/video/DETZNTPml7M/v-deo.html
But we can also offer you the future Transporter: ua-cam.com/video/GlCouAf3Xh0/v-deo.html
This is becoming my favourite car channel. Great job Thomas and everyone else behind the scene.
thanks, stick with us!
This was so cool, best car channel on UA-cam!!
thanks so much, spread the word :)
For an enthusiast like me, this video was a journey thru time. A tour de force in the Volkswagen's visions of what can define a great car. The presence of the head of the design department in the entire VW group is a proof of the prestige of Autogefühl. The VW ID is a jewel of design, function and space. It paves the way of the future and I hope can see it happening... Excelent work, Thomas.
great comment :)
Join us on this fantastic tour through automotive history and design!
thanks for doing that!, really good to see them side by side. I currently drive an e-Golf, so it's great to see the next stage :) At first I thought the 'eyes' were a bit of a gimmick, but now hearing about the autonomous mode having a personality it makes sense and I can see would make people want to buy this. I glad to see VW embrace the grill-less front end again, especially on an EV which doesn't need them :) I just hope the final version is a 5 seater, 4 is a BIG no no at least in the US.
Great video and presentation Thomas! Really enjoyed it.
thx buddy!
I never understand why the finished cars are so wildly different to the concept cars. It’s an exercise in futility - “let’s build something we will never actually make! Look at what you’ll never get!”
19:00 they forgot to hide the plug :D (underneath the car)
Hi Tomas thank you for great reviews!!!
thanks for the support !
Love your discussion with these three models. Maybe pick other iconic cars to discuss? Mini, Ford, etc.
let's see if we can do somehting in this direction
Hi Thomas, thank you for the interesting and brief review! Before I start, I like to mention that when this UA-cam started to play, I thought you are in a painting! I liked the background wall color behind you mixed with the floor color below you, together in a way I couldn't notice where the wall & floor intersect! Sure I like the beetle and its model through the years, and the latest beetle is really great! Also the Golf, even it was a revolution in the 70's, we could notice that year after year it was getting better and sure the latest Golf got the most beautiful shape! I remember one quote for VW I read it since around 15 years in one of their Golf brochures "The aim of design is not doing something different but doing something better", now! Regarding the VW I.D, for me, in general it looks great, I only didn't like the A1 & A2 pillars, they look a very old design solution like a van or a bus, I don't know! Since Mr. Klaus mentioned that this car will face further little changes until its final setting, I advise you to look after these two A1 & A2 pillars, try to hide them both or keep only one pillar "PLEASE"! Beside that, I don't have any other negative feeling towards it, I believe it is a very successful shape and can be improved successfully year after year through its future! :)
thanks for the feedback m8 !
Thankyou for this wonderful historic VW journey. Isnt it amazing that the Golf 1 is still being sold in South Africa as well as the newer Golf models. The Id is an exciting look into the future. Very enjoyable video, Thomas !
thanks! Didnt they stop the city golf in 2009 or 2011 ?
I havent been to SA for a while so you might have better information than I have
hm, wikipedia says production stopped 2009. Incredibly long still
I drove one to Namibia, it wasnt much fun
This is really great and I like the focus on the important part of the history of VW. Was this also recorded in german language as well?
thanks! No, we offer a service for the international community, thats why English :)
OK. Thanks a lot :)
Thomas, another great review! Was just wondering which car do you drive on daily basis?
"...in this unique package." Interesting term, "package." The 2017 Golf Family VW Brochure describes the Golf R as follows: "Everything in the Golf R is dialed up. It creates a total package that's expertly crafted, sophisticated and technologically advanced." I've reflected on this video over the past few weeks and I"m not sure that I fully grasp the strategy, planning and execution that goes into marketing a vehicle's "package" and why. Is a car manufacturer's model the package, or is it the trim level? Is it more than that? What about available features such as an optional lighting package or driver's assistance features? How does that impact the package? Any thoughts?
I bet it looks quite a lot different when it actually comes on sale in 2020
Thank you Thomas. The 1958 Beetle is my favorite. How will we transition from autonomous to non-autonomous driving in the future? In one fell swoop or will it be something that occurs gradually? One other thing: The 2017 Passat R-Line in the US offers great features for a very reasonable price. Would it be possible for you to review that car?
good question. Let me try to find out if that's possible
Excellent report Thomas, I can hardly wait to see the final version of the ID actually on the road, it looks very promising. Have you heard what may be available when it's finally released such as maybe a six seat version or a wagon/estate for more flexibility?
thanks! I think they will start with the "basic" version first
Thanks. I was expecting that but just wondering what may be in the pipeline further down the track using that platform. The industry changes from now on will be very interesting to see.
The Golf 1 design really is a masterpiece so I loved when he said that lol
VW South Africa continued to produce the Mark 1 for many years as the Citi Golf. They had a great advertising campaign when it launched, using a Piet Mondriaan concept (the cars were originally only in blue, yellow, and red) ua-cam.com/video/YUm5NbAnP2Y/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/-X0FKCNi_v4/v-deo.html
Good to hear comments from the head of VW design - Thanks Thomas. At 6:25 you said that earlier he had been responsible for interior design at VW - I wonder whether he had been involved in the superb clean interior design, and big step up in quality, of the 1996 Passat B5 interior and 1997 Golf Mk4. Anyway, good interview.
thanks gordon!
Would be awesome to see the type one mould come back into production
The I.D. looks very cool and it definitely is the way for the future! But what I'd like to see is a modern rear-engined Beetle! The next gen Beetle could be rear-engined!
Either electric or hybrid! But I think electric is a more practical solution, for some reason or another! Batteries on the floor pan, electric motor at the back! Yeah, this can be done too! And then play the air-cooled boxer's soundtrack from the speakers! ;-P
I enjoyed watching it but you could have done better. Who was this film for? On one hand you don't mention such basic things like the trunk space behind the rear seats of the Beetle. On the other hand, if this material was meant for people with more knowledge, it's a pity you did not ask more sophisticated questions about design to such a well-informed person.
Awesome video!
thanks !
Excellent, great video
appreciated!
Always enjoy your videos :)
also in full HD and full screen? :D
yes, but often on mobile device too
The Beetle is by far the best looking car out of the 3 !
Great video
Two motoring icons and a third about to be reality
Excellent Vlog, thanks. I used to own a Beetle and loved it. I was looking at the Tesla model 3, but after seeing the I.D. I think this has the chance to be much better!
thanks keep supporting us!
A Beetle Cabriolet special will be coming up in a couple of weaks :)
I DON'T SEE THE ID LINE BECOMING THE NEXT BEETLE.
Why was the beetle has a bug shape because it resemble the egg shell which known for its rigidity provide by its round shape despite its thin sheetmetals. It is give best compromise for strenght and lightness.
The golf which is designed by italian, which is a trend in 70''s. It obvious the metal technology has become better, and you don''t have to have rounded body to provide strenght. Moreover the angular shape of the golf give it spacey room despite the compact size. Much better than the cramped beetle.
interesting aspect!
Loved it
Great video. Love seeing the evolution of design. Not a fan of autonomous cars though. I actually like to drive!!
Thanks for sharing your opinion with us! Hope you also tune in to our other videos :)
The notion of the "autonomous car" is both worryingly utopian and dystopian at the same time. Moreover, in spite of all the technological advances that have been made since the days of the original Beetle or Golf, Volkswagen - or any other car maker for that matter - really need to remind themselves that cars are meant to be driven by humans, and not humans being driven by cars.
do a VW Atlas, waiting for it.
Last car looks like a baby toy car from Japan
Thank you
no problem
AMAZING THANKS
The beetle is the best Volkswagen car
vw I.D. very nice
id is the original Citroën id 17
Pathetic. Cars should be driven for fun. Whats the point of progress if it result only in more work and less free time. Nobody will want to drive autonomous electric car in their free time.
It'll have a steering wheel. You're thinking too far into the future.
I wouldn't talk about the *roots* too much! wink wink
beetle and golf 1 were never good cars just only sucessful.
Evolution? More like a stagnation.......
No-1 nothing more...
Volkswagen always looked ugly in my opinion, the new one are getting better, but I still don't like them very much ^^
I'm sorry that you think that
i couldn't follow the whole Video due the bad english and the often "ughs" of the Designer. A head of a big company should talk english much better to be honest....
his English is perfectly fine
Paddifex Ka so... you're expecting the head of design of a GERMAN COMPANY to not only speak English (which he did very well) but for it to be completely unbroken, and I'm presuming without a very thick accent, as if he were a native to an English speaking country...? That's pretty ignorant.
Paddifex Ka also let's not forget that this was filmed on location IN GERMANY on a UA-cam channel run by GERMANS featuring a GERMAN company. And because a native GERMAN struggled to remember a few words immediately in a foreign language, you're salty. Really let that sink in. anyway, hey Thomas! Great video as always! you're the best!
Tanner Young+ - I agree. It was great to hear a few views and opinions from such an important person from within this large global company that employs lots of people, being interviewed in a courteous, sensible and polite manner. (Oh, and as you say, he spoke perfectly good English - better than me, I'm sure).
