In 2010, VW announced that their beloved “Beetle” would be making a design shift. Edging away from the girly stigma that’s often attached to these cars, designers at VW attempted to make the car sleeker and and less round. The new design resulted in a lower roof line, more stripes, and a few retro features.
But some VW enthusiasts aren’t too thrilled with the change. The new Beetle, which hits car lots at a whopping $28,000, has left some drivers wondering what’s up. The price drop is said to have an effect on male buyers; enticing them with a lower price might be the way to shed the Beetle’s girly reputation. Reducing the price makes the car more accessible.
But the features of the newer Beetle are sleeker and better designed. The rounded top, for instance, isn’t so exaggerated, creating more head space in the back seats and allowing for more room in the front. The new car also has more space in the back to be able to store groceries or luggage for a road trip.
While the new Beetle is said to be more moderately priced, it’s still too early to tell how it performs reliability. For more information about European auto repair in Las Vegas, contact Desert Oasis at (702) 255-4090.
