Volkswagenis one of those automakers that used to pride itself on its quirkiness, producingmodels that other manufacturers would never have touched – and often enjoyingphenomenal success thanks to them. Marking the 30th anniversary of one suchmodel, the 1984 Syncro, VW has released a new concept van/truck called theTristar. Riding on a short van wheelbase, the Tristar sports a pickup bed thatsplits in two, with an additional waterproof compartment underneath.
