I was rather eager to see what VW had done with the third edition of the iconic Beetle. Iconic is a word I genuinely mean, launched in the 1930’s, the first generation VW Beetle was apparently penned by Adolf Hitler on a paper towel. With almost 60 years of production, 21 529 464 were sold, ending its manufacturing run in Brazil in 2003. To put that into perspective, it’s like Joan Rivers career…
