Re: Karmann

Actually, no.

Giugaro's MK2 prototype design is on display at the Karmann museum. If
you want to see it, Dirk Schneider has a pic of it on his web page. It
really looks nothing like an Impulse.

I don't have his URL handy, but the Scirocco.ORG web page has a link to
his page :)

yes, technically the MK2 was an in-house design,
but it was originally penned by Giugiaro as well.
VW looked at his design, but refused it, and he sold
his design to Isuzu who produced it as the Impulse.
Oddly enough, the two designs were nearly identical......
