Volkswagen's $72,000 Campervan asks if your summer adventure has that kind of budget

Seventy-two thousand dollars. That's the entry fee for Volkswagen's new 2027 California Campervan, arriving just in time for next summer's adventure season. It asks a quiet, uncomfortable question: does your dream road trip have that kind of budget? The new models pack smarter features into that iconic silhouette, and I want to be delighted by a clever hinge or a battery that lasts. I really do. But this price tag sits heavy. It's a beautiful ask from a company that built its name on the *people's* car. For the cost of a small house, you get a very nice van. If you're suddenly rethinking your gadget spending, JBL just slashed three best-selling speakers to a price that demands attention, a much easier summer upgrade to justify.
