mscabrio · 30 Sep 2006, 6:42 pm

I knew that it was only a matter of time ...........

amazeer · 30 Sep 2006, 7:26 pm

the new beetle is obviously a remake of the old, the new mini looks something like the old mini, but what the hell is that? Sure it has 4 wheels just like the old one, but what else?

Something that I have thought for a long while is that car manufacturers should bring back the old shape in a new car.

To market a new Polo or Jetta based VW with exactly the body shape of the original KG would, I am sure, be a big winner.

Imagine Holden re-issuing the EH Holden shape, or Ford doing it with the XY Falcon, with new mechanicals. I'm sure the order books would be full before production started.

Like the FJ remake?

VWFREAK · 1 Oct 2006, 2:05 pm

Different, bring it on, it only means my KG will be worth even more.

Still, nothing beats the original..
