New Beetle Changes
VW Beetle Changes? – We probably all know that the New Beetle is built on the Golf (4) platform. So, with the news that Golf will soon (1-year) go to the Golf 5 platform here, you might wonder about plans for the beloved “NuBee.” Sources say that the New Beetle will remain on the Golf 4 platform. The philosophy of minimal change that held true for the vintage Beetle is carrying over to the New Beetle, I guess.
The source that made the statement even said, “The Beetle is not a car; it is a friend that lives in the garage.” I fully agree; especially when it comes to “Lightning,” “Verty,” and “Jungle Jim.”
For Sure
