VW is going to discontinue the "BUG" after *about *70 years of
production
Too bad, but for the same money a Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla is probably
a better value overall.
Heck...a RAV4 is cheaper than that top of the line 2010 New Beetle.
My first brand new car was a 1972 dark blue 'Super Beetle'.
Back in those days the VW was the best of a questionable choice of small
cars......... nowadays, not so much.


Only true because the "new" beetle is not the original car or concept..
They OUGHT to bring that automobile back.


I had a new Beetle way back when...bought it when I was working at the
KC Star. Fine car for getting around town, but...sheeesh...out on those
Missouri two lane "highways," if a big semi-truck was coming from the
opposite direction, the winds it created would damn near blow the Beetle
right off the road.


I love the car, though. Really reliable (ok...so I owned an MG-A so my
point of reference isn't that high!)- Hide quoted text -

Everyone here believes you.
