Whew! I really can't believe that. They sell the heck out of that thing. They can keep it modern mechanically, which they have, and retain the body style. The cutsey college girls love them. But sometimes Volkswagen is not too smart. After all, they stopped making the split window bus. In my humble opinion VW crapped out after 1967, and it has taken years for them to develop a new icon, the NB, and then they kill it. --- On Thu, 12/3/09, a1992cabbygirl@xxxxxxxxxxxx <a1992cabbygirl@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: From: a1992cabbygirl@xxxxxxxxxxxx <a1992cabbygirl@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [tcb] Another VW bites the dust...

I don't really like New Beetles, but the paint scheme is ok.
