#2This seems pretty cool then I realize that it would probably cost 100,000$ or so and I realize looking at the stars from a blanket is free.

Given the price of comparable Sprinter-based campers, you might even be a little under. But it’s all moot. It’s a concept vehicle, and even if VW builds it, it won’t be coming to the U. S. The pop-top California never did, and the last time VW sold campers in the U. S. was fourteen years ago.

Even older VW campers cost an arm and a leg. [1]

This is disappointing. If this RV can relieve the need for house purchasing in Bay Area, 100k price tag doesn't seem to be a problem.
It's a shame that this vehicle is named California and we can't buy it in California. America is such a great place for RV camping (vast area, low population density, plenty parking spaces and so many beautiful places to go), and VW somehow decided not to sell any of these for 14 years!
I mean, just checking the craigslist prices for those second hand vw campers from the 60s, their marketing people should be able to tell there is a strong demand for this in the US.

Sleeping in the bed of a pickup also affords a great view of the stars and is also fairly inexpensive (compared to a dedicated camper, and especially if you have other uses for a truck). In the western US weather is often good during the summer and you don't really need much over your head.

Except pickup beds are now 5'6" instead of 8', which makes this less comfortable

The reason they’re called California is merely because of the romantic image the name has in Europe though.
The concept car looks nice but the iconic design is completely lost here.
