Volkswagen accessorizes Atlas with new Weekend Edition

It's no pop-up camper, but it's about as close as we can get in 2017.

Cars are Andrew's jam, as is strawberry. After spending years as a regular ol' car fanatic, he started working his way through the echelons of the automotive industry, starting out as social-media director of a small European-focused garage outside of Chicago. From there, he moved to the editorial side, penning several written features in Total 911 Magazine before becoming a full-time auto writer, first for a local Chicago outlet and then for CNET Cars.

This is one Atlas you won't be able to buy in dealerships -- it's just a concept for the Chicago Auto Show.

That said, you can pick up most of these accessories at the VW dealership, so you can sort of get one?

The main exterior addition is the cargo box atop the vehicle, which expands to hold nearly 18 cubic feet of cargo.

The exterior also features splashguards and special 18-inch wheels.

Inside, there's a universal tablet mount, which is a better option than throwing a bunch of money at an expensive in-car entertainment add-on.

A cargo divider behind the second row makes an excellent pet divider.

Additional storage solutions allow you to keep round or small objects in one place.

Sadly, I don't think these tires will be available, but there's nothing stopping you from making a trip to your local tire shop.
