Remarkable for someone of my generation I've only ridden in a classic 
Beetle twice and drove one about 100 yards to get a co-workers out of in 
front of the loading dock. The concept fascinated me in an era where US 
cars were redesigned every year, or at least the coachwork.

I was interested when the new ones came out but decided a car that came 
with a little crystal flower vase wasn't my style.

The new Minis were a similar story. I think my Toyota transverse 4, cheap 
subcompact is closer to the original concept.
