It lived on because it was small, cheap and simple. The new model was neither. Like the new Mini, it was just another premium hatchback living off the name of a classic.
- Lio 9y agoThis is exactly the point I wanted to make. I add that the original Beetle also lived on because VW were able to extend the life of the original tooling, which they’d replaced when they moved to the Golf in Germany.
