It was conceived in the head of a brilliant German engineer . . . born in Nazi Germany as a child of Hitler's propaganda machine . . . all but killed in it's infancy by allied bombings . . . laughed at by the "serious" automotive society and grew up an outcast red-headed step child before being adopted by the "counter-culture" . . . and finally grew up to be the most beloved car in the world. It's hard to believe, but today marks the third anniversary of the last Volkswagen Beetle rolling off the assembly line! May it enjoy a long, active, and well-deserved retirement!

i remember wanting to go to mexico just to rent and drive a "new" beetle... never dreamed i would own one... perhaps it's not the ultima edicion, but it's heart and soul is made in mexico... and it's a different feeling than a german vdub... it's a sad thing that i cant go out and buy a "new" beetle... but hey i said a few months ago i would never buy a beetle again... and here i am...


just wait til i move to chattavegas and see what "new" vw's you'll see around :shock:  :twisted:  :lol:
