You need permission to post pictures of my car... :bowrofl:

..Now hold on there a minute. I think that distinction goes to our good friends at Nissan. Can you say, CUBE? ;)

We all know it HAD to be designed by a woman. No self respecting man would design a car to be so fracking CUTE. :icon14:

Well, they sold a crap load of them, to women that is, so who has the last laugh? :confused:

VW = absolute overpriced crap now a days. Use to be quality stuff.

while i'm no fan of the cubical, i'm sure it's 10x better as a vehicle than the abortion that was the "New Beetle"

I see all those ugly cars and raise you with:

yea seriously^ probably in the top 3 most ugly/awkward/repulsive vehicles ever made. i'm still not sure how they sold other than their sheer utility but there were plenty of other vehicles out there in a similar category

:werd:

this thing is actually painful to look at. Everyone that bought one of these is in need of a hug....

That's too nice of a picture. This orange one has the painted bumpers and flares. That's only a -10 on the 0 to 10 scale. To go all the way to -11 you need the plastic showing fenders and flares like on this yellow one. ;)

You are also forgetting the Chevy Chevette. They sold a tons of those too, and oh my, what a POS that thing was. No way the new beetle is/was worse than that thing. I'm sure there are plenty of others too.

the "New Beetle" has more recalls than some manufactures have for their entire lineup of cars. granted that doesn't necessarily mean it's the most unreliable car but it's an indicator of shoddy engineering. i worked at a VW dealership and trust me, they are by FAR the worst cars on the road. vette's are known for the problems too but it's no where close to beetles.

I got a 2013 2.5L model because I didn't want to drive my camaro to work. it's very quiet and comfortable, a good DD and the insurance premium is very low. Women still like it :)
