OTOH finding a BDM Kombi in Tokyo wouldn't be that surprising.
Came across an old Torchinsky article from 2016:
jalopnik.com: Tesla Is About To Eat Volkswagen's Lunch
Here's Mr. Torchinsky's montage:
The article was inspired by an Elon Musk quote.
Quote:
There’s a strong initial market of now-wealthy Boomers who would pay ex recto for a modern, safe, eco-friendly electric bus, and that vehicle, designed with the right balance of old and new, could leverage nostalgia and established character to get a new generation of people...excited about buying a hypothetical (and, appropriately priced) modern Microbus.

Extra points for the Latin.
But it's six years later and neither company has a microbus out.
