View Full Version : Would You Buy This Car?
Mikado 02-03-2008, 11:43 PM Some time ago, I typed "2008 VW Beetle" in Google and found several pics of this "New Beetle" based wagon.....Should VW build this thing, and, would you buy it? (I guess it answers the question "What if I love the Beetle, but need more room?" :lol: )
Ireneparalegal 02-04-2008, 12:25 AM I don't drive stick. And even if I did, that would be the last car I would get. Me and VW's don't mix. :lol:
bingbangbaby 02-04-2008, 01:00 AM Well I wouldn't buy it personally but that's because I don't need it. It's cute though and if I had kids or something maybe I'd consider buying it. :)
Mikado 02-04-2008, 01:01 AM hmm 1/2 the people who viewed this poll didnt vote :(
Mikado 02-04-2008, 01:02 AM Well I wouldn't buy it personally but that's because I don't need it. It's cute though and if I had kids or something maybe I'd consider buying it. :)
Then you should have voted "Its cute, but not for me" :) ;)

Gee, give a girl a chance...:lol: Nah, I was still checking out the poll when you posted. I voted now. :)

Um Irene, VW has offered automatics for over 30 years now :lol: (I dont like driving stick either)
Mikado 02-04-2008, 01:05 AM Thx Bingbang, your input is appreciated ;)
Max Whittaker 02-04-2008, 01:08 AM I'm old fashioned. Give me the old beetle any day. The new things are ugly.
dawsongirl 02-04-2008, 01:15 AM No way...it's ugly, too small, and I don't like wagons.
Mikado 02-04-2008, 01:31 AM I'm old fashioned. Give me the old beetle any day. The new things are ugly.
Well, I dont mind the new Beetle but, I prefer the old one too......especially the 55-57s with the "Bullet" turn signal lights and a ragtop
JoPol_wannabe 02-04-2008, 01:36 AM Oh I hate VW's, I like the color of the cars I just hate the cars. There is a lady here that has one and she hates having to drive it in the snow and on ice because it slips and slides all the time but she refuses to get rid of it and buy another car. I will never buy one. I love the vehical I have which is a Jeep Liberty. I like it because I sit up higher, you turn on the lights and it looks almost like it's day light out and it handles great on ice and snow

One day, that will be my car! :)
Mikado 02-04-2008, 01:45 AM One day, that will be my car! :)
Take me for a ride then :lol: btw, its on sale at The Samba VW site for $21,000 US :cool:
junecleaver 02-04-2008, 01:47 AM I am a truck/hummer person, so I personally wouldn't buy it because of my preferences. But i think that is the best VW beetle i ever saw, it is cute, doesn't look weird like the original ones do. It's more modern looking and even the color is good for it.

What model? Ive had 3 VWs and they were the best handling cars I've ever owned (At least the 1980 Rabbit and 1988 Golf were, the 1972 Beetle didnt handle quite as well)
InspectorExstead 02-04-2008, 03:56 AM no. i like the vw bugs because they're cute & small. but this is too big and mini van looking for me.
Sterling Holobyte 02-04-2008, 04:50 PM I don't know. It kind of throws off the whole symmetry of the "Beetle" form.
And besides, those new beetles are overly-expensive as it is. I would guess this thing would be up there in price as well.
But if you have the money, and you like the look, go for it.
I'd prefer the original Beetle myself.
Its kind of cute but not for me was how I voted. I was never a big fan of volkswagon's. They are ok but I never really wanted one for myself.
Mikado 02-05-2008, 12:04 AM I voted its kind of cute......maybe; but, Id rather the old Beetle too....or a Westfalia Camper bus VVVV

Still doesn't change the fact their vehicles are FUGLY!!!! :eek:
:lol:
Stormtracker TF 02-05-2008, 12:17 AM No, I wouldn't buy that...Not that I would be able to if I even felt like it, considering there are no plans for a Beetle-based wagon in Volkswagen's future as far as I know. :lol:
Mikado 02-05-2008, 12:21 AM Still doesn't change the fact their vehicles are FUGLY!!!! :eek:
:lol:Well, not to put too fine a point on it, SUVs are the ugliest things on the road imho, wheras I love VWS :lol: (Oh well, I love ya anyway ;) :kiss: )
Number 9 Dream 02-05-2008, 12:51 AM Nah, I already have a '99 VW Beetle :)

:kiss: Back at ya!
I LOVE MY SUV! :snob:
freshprinceofLA 02-05-2008, 01:43 AM Being a 16 year old.. I will take any car as long as it's not pink, as long as the AC works and as long as there is a CD player or at least a radio and of course it has to run good not breakdown every mile just like my parent's old chevy sitation

I remember I said that too when I was a teen. ;)

AC? Boy are you spoiled :lol: (When i was your age.......)

The ugliest thing on the road is, hands-down, the Hummer.
Mikado 02-05-2008, 03:12 AM The ugliest thing on the road is, hands-down, the Hummer.
True, but, i was counting that as an SUV :lol:
tanquant 02-05-2008, 03:54 PM I voted cute but not for me. I do not like to drive big cars and that one looks kinda big. When my two children are grown I would love to own a smaller beetle like this:
SBTB Geek 02-05-2008, 05:01 PM It's cute but I wouldn't buy it for myself. I'll probably gift it.
Dude111 11-03-2025, 12:03 AM I voted NO!! -- It look ugly :D
I only like original volkswagons!!
