When Volkswagen first gave us a glimpse of the car that was to become the retro-tastic ID Buzz, fans of the iconic Bus that it took its cues from were elated by the charming, all-electric three-row SUV/minivan. But then reality started to set in. The Buzz was plagued by interminable delays, and when it finally did arrive here in America, it came with a high price and short range that dampened enthusiasm for the retro-styled EV. Even worse, some dealers started piling on markups to try to take advantage of what buzz there actually was for it.
