You're thinking about the VW Bus, now presented as the Buzz?

Unsurprising.

It was never about revamping the classic, in its concept, but capitalizing on nostalgia.

By contrast, Renault brought back their legendary Model 5 and regardless the car being a behemoth compared to the original, it captured and delivered a new car built on a nostalgic concept.
