Looks like VW’s new Microbus is still slated for production in the 2006 model year, according to AutoWeek magazine.
I don’t know, though. It seems that Ford might discontinue the Econoline in 2006 and replace it with a lighter version from their UK division: the Ford Transit. VW may not make a camping version with a poptop bed, but I’m pretty sure that GTRV will make one for the Transit.
