Not true. In 1973, the whole front structure of the VW Bus was completely redesigned and incorporated a crush zone. 1973-up Bay window Type 2's are much much safer than the splitties or the early Bays. It was the first van to pass crash the standards for passenger cars. If we move up into the Vanagon, those were very safe in a crash, outperforming even Volvos of the period.


Marc
No different in a crash. Neither offers much safety.

Give it up, Brad.
You've got about 30 safety questions about these things(didn't count 'em).
There has Never been a safety issue with the Transporter, Bus, or Vanagon. They are as safe (in my opinion, safer) than any other vehicle of their time period, or class.
If you really like these things, go get one. And stop worrying about crashing.

Still working on this VW bus thing........there would be difference at all both would offer you very little protection.
