Do you think the Volkswagen Beetle is homely?

Do you think the Volkswagen is homely? 
The Volkswagen was designed from the inside out. Every line is a result of function. The snub nose cuts down wind resistance. The body lines hug the interior workings. Nothing pro-trudes. One Briton called the Volkswagen ''a marvelous economy of design.'' An American owner put it differently. ''It's funny,'' he said, ''how she grows on you. At first you think she's the homeliest thing you ever saw. But pretty soon you get to love her shape. And after awhile, no other car looks right.'' The VW defies obsolescence. You can hardly tell the doughty shape of a 1950 model from a '61. To suggest altering it is heresy to owners. (Would you change the perfect form of an egg?) But we are continually making changes you cannot see. Example: a new anti-sway bar eliminates sway on curves. Over a hun-dred such changes since 1950, but never in the basic design. Is the Volkswagen homely? It depends on how you look at it (and how long).

Why so many Volkswagens live to be 100,000.

Why so many Volkswagens live to be 100,000. 
The Volkswagen isn't the kind of a car you trade in after a year or two. It's designed and built for keeps. The piston speed in a Volkswagen is slower than it is in many other cars. That means less wear. Engine friction and stress are so low that the VW's cruising speed is the same as top speed! 
Continuity in making the same basic model year after year has led to Volkswagen's qual-ity of assembly—the kind that a $5,000 car would be proud of; to say nothing of a can that sells for $1,585.* Just to give you an idea: A Volkswagen is so airtight, it's a good practice to open the window before you slam the door. Even after 
you've had it for several years. So. If you own a '61 or '62 VW that you've taken good care of, why would you want to trade it in for a '66—which looks just like it? You wouldn't. You'd keep it, and have the pleasure of seeing 99,999 on your VW's odometer turn to 00000.

Volkswagen Up! GTI recebe preparação da B&B Automobiltechnik e desenvolve 145 CV de potência

Apesar de possuir um pequeno motor 1.0 de três cilindros, a sobrealimentação de fábrica faz o Volkswagen Up! GTI acelerar da inércia aos 100 km/h em 8,8 segundos, o que torna o carrinho uma ferramenta de track day em potencial.

Por isso mesmo, várias empresas de tuning europeias já criaram projetos que visam o aumento de potência do motor e o incremento da esportividade do veículo.

Propaganda do Volkswagen Polo é banida no Reino Unido por demonstrar "muita confiança" nos sistemas de segurança do veículo

Um spot publicitário do novo Volkswagen Polo, que foca no funcionamento de sistemas eletrônicos que visam a segurança dos ocupantes do veículo e do trânsito ao seu redor, como o aviso de ponto cego e a frenagem autônoma de emergência.

A Autoridade de Padrões de Publicidade britânica determinou a proibição da veiculação do anúncio de trinta segundos na mídia local, alegando que a Volkswagen "exagerou" nos benefícios das características de segurança do Polo.

Volkswagen Beetle. Slightly convertible.

The Volkswagen Beetle. Slightly convertible. 
Some people can't ride in a regular convert-ible without trying to convert it. (''Put the top down, Daddy.'' ''leave it up, Harry.'') You can't make a compromise. (Try driving a regular convertible with the top only halfway up.l But you can buy one: The Volkswagen Sunroof Sedan. The Sunroof is a cross between a VW Sedan 
and a VW Convertible. It has a hole in the roof, with a steel cover thot cranks open to give you 390 square inches of sky. Or 3891/2 square inches of sky. Or 1/4 square inch. Or whatever's comfortable. And if no opening'scomfortoble, you can have that, too: Just crank the cover closed until it pops up against its sealing gasket. 
This makes our Sunroof as airtight and water-tight as our Sedan. The cover is podded and lined like the rest of the roof, so you can hardly see it. Some people can hardly see pay-ing an extra $90* for it, either. (Until they take a VW Sunroof out on the road. And open her up.
