Ich hatte in den 90ern mal einen Kollegen, der einen damaligen Nachfolger<\/a> dieses hier gezeigten 1970er Subarus 360 kaufte und ich habe damals nicht verstanden, warum jemand Geld f\u00fcr einen „Bus“ ausgab, der nicht wesentlich gr\u00f6\u00dfer als ein Golf war. Mittlerweile finde ich die Kiste ziemlich knuffig – und zum Pennen f\u00fcr zwei reicht das Dingen auch. Wenn man sich ganz klein macht. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s not a shrunken Type 2 VW, but rather an adorable little import built in Japan in an era long before Subaru started to earn its modern granola-crunching and power-sliding fanbase. Sun-soaked Arizona is an altogether alien terrain if you\u2019re arriving from Japan, and as far as U.S. cities go, Greater Phoenix is not wanting for space\u2014certainly not when compared to the tightly-packed streets of Japan\u2019s metropolitan hubs\u2014and a tiny van with an even smaller motor is no way to experience these wide-open desert highways if your version of the American Southwest requires a V8. But traversing the ramps and right angles around the city? This little UFO is quite handy indeed. The Subaru 360 Van is an efficient use of of space and it gets the kind of excellent mileage you\u2019d expect from a barebones and mostly utilitarian machine, and yet its value lies more in its charm than its function.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
