Well, I'm gonna age myself here.

I bought my first VW Beetle back in 1972. The total cost was $2,400!!! I absolutely loved my powder blue baby.

I love the new ones as well. They are very cute. But I, in my own opinion, think they are death traps. There is literally nothing protecting the passengers in the front. When they first came out, a couple in CT was killed instantly when they were hit head on.
