I agree with Storm partially.....
The new bug according to what I saw in Karachi about a year back was selling for anywhere between 18 to 25 lacs. Dont know the current market now.
The new bug may be called stupid in the sense that it just copies the old bugs shape and not its character. Its not as reliable/ strongly built/ lasting as the older ancestor.
It may come as a surprise to all that the powers that be at Volkswagen of America do not support the old beetle at all!! Their philosophy is like if the older cars are on the road, who is gonna buy the new ones?? So they try their best to do away with the vintage wheels. A while ago they cracked down on various online discussion boards/mailing lists and parts suppliers with the pretext that they were violating the copyright of VW on the internet........Screw these idiots!!!
I think the best advertising campaign they could have come up with would be to show the old n new bugs side by side and claim that the new model has attributes of the old.....starting from reliability........
Btw the Golf n new bug share almost similar chassis and mechanicals as far as I know.
Girls car.......yes n no.......depends on ur likes n taste....
