I like it, but dammit..
Why can't VW put the motor back in the right spot?

I guess they just don't get it.
It's worked for Porsche for more than a few decades...
It's the iconic equivalent of offering a 4 cylinder Camaro, or front drive Mustang, or hybrid Challenger.
**ugh**
When they start heading in the right direction in 2017, I may be interested again.

I spent the whole weekend working on my VW. As far as I'm concerned, I'm going to put my aircooled in the right spot, the dumpster!

I really really don't get how the bug was a "cool" car. God awful uncomfortable, gutless, cold, face smashed against the windshield ... Need more be said?

the only thing good about a vw bug is that it give you a reason to punch someone...... with no punch backs.

did anybody see the "punch dub" commercial they ran during the daytona 500? i thought it was pretty lame until the end when Stevie Wonder punched Tracey Morgan and said "blue one!", i laughed my ass off! tracey morgan says "how do you keep doing that?"

Looks like a PT Cruiser Ran into the back of a New Beetle... and all the last remaining heart and soul was crushed in the impact.
Course, that's just my opinion, and I do collect Schumachers and PBs..... but I think it looks hideous....

At least the Porche was German ... Oh, wait a minute! ... I have never been a fan of the Porche either. If you like fugly, uncomfortable rides, ok, I guess, but you can do much better for a whole lot less. Yugo and Fiesta come to mind, both as comfortable as a Porche and both with vastly more performance than a bug, even the new version of the pregnant roller skate populating the roadways today.treehugger wrote:and the old Porsche was so comfortable and powerfull and good heaters but they went on to fix all those problems
