Sad but true, VW is going to discontinue production of the new Beetle (which isn't nearly as cool as the old one, but may be a more practical automobile if you like things like automatic transmission, air conditioning and heaters that actually work).
I am not going to cry in my beer, but it is shame never the less. I really like my 1964 Bug. It is fun to drive (about six months of the year) and reliable as long as you do routine, regular maintenance.
EDITOR'S NOTE: I had a Beetle in the late 50s which I used to commute between Riverside and Santa Ana. It was fun to drive and economical too. But I always wore a police motorcycle helmet while driving it.
