When I was a little kid I used to like VW beetles thanks to the old 60s Disney movies.
In time with their you need to own 2 to keep one running reputation, and "Adolph Hitler commissioned Ferdinand Porsche to build a people's car" genesis kinda eliminated my interest in everything VW.... Though diesel gate made the part of me that dislikes all the fake global warming BS see the brand in a more positive light.
The aesthetic part of my mind that liked the beetle eventually reached the conclusion that the pre-war designed GM fastback bodys have everything I liked in the beetle turned up to 11...So I bought one instead of a beetle.
