Look at the design of other cars when this car was released and then look at its price-tag. This thing was a budget family car with curvy looks that werent out of place from a Bugatti.
Subzero - the British are just angry they didnt take it when they had the chance!

Definitely a classic. They may be econo cars but you cant kill them. They were good honest little budget cars for their time. They always seem to make you smile when you see one. I love the early sixties models with the ragtop sunroof.

i own one, and its my first car
don't quite understand how a person could hate them, its the type of car you can do anything with, whether its converting it to a boat and driving across the channel or converting to a dune buggy. and 50 years of production shows nothing but integrity from the beetle, my 1968 engine still starts 1st time in winter.
subzeroed.

I find it hard to think of this car in terms of cool or uncool, as it ticks many boxes in terms of reliability and practicality. I'm not sure that it produces the same emotions in people as other cool vehicles, such as the Ford GT. Personally I have always loved these vehicles but never regarded them as cool. They are a car I would drive even if everyone else thought I was a dork for doing so.

Here's bunch of guys that think the original Beetle is subzero: (note Dr. Porsche on the left. "Ja, mien Feuhrer. I put ze engine in ze back to assist mit terminal ubersteer! Mit ze swing arms, it vill be a barrel of laffs!... Und Herr Speer zays he can provide slave labor fur even lower kosts.)

God I hate Beetles. VW's apogee was the '84 GTI. Their cars decline on either side of it.

Bullshit. The Auto Union predated the fucking suck-ass Beetle.

Over 65mph, the early cars were totally unstable. But you first had to find a downhill straight that was really long.
