    You guys don't even imagine how popular is the Beetle in Brazil. Thousands of mint condition _"Fuscas"_ (how it is called here) share the streets with brand new cars, as if they shared dealers windows. Wich is pretty cool imo
    For those with some spare cash, it's a very common way into the car culture to buy one as a first project car.

    It still is the best-selling car of all time. Corolla and Civic are just nameplates: the ones sold today have nothing in common with the originals. The final Beetle sold in 2003 is so closely related to the first one sold in the late 30s that you could literally swap each car's body onto the other's floorpan.

    • @johnnymason2460
      @johnnymason2460 Рік тому +1

      Not according to current records. The Corolla is considered the best selling nameplate of all time. That's despite the fact that there were 3 generations of the Beetle. Also, the RWD Beetles and the FWD Golf-based Beetles are not interchangeable!

    • @TBustah
      @TBustah Рік тому +5

      @@johnnymason2460 Again, I was never comparing nameplate vs nameplate. I was talking about individual DESIGNS. Of course the Corolla and other nameplates have sold more, I suggested as much in my original comment, but you can’t rightfully call the current Corolla and the original the same car. They share nothing but the name. One’s a modern FWD compact, and the other is RWD, the size of a cracker box, and was never powered by anything bigger than a carbureted engine that made half the power of the modern Corolla’s BASE engine. A fairer comparison would be how much each Corolla generation sold, or even how many units were sold over the course of generations that were closely related.

    I was a rear passenger in a Baja Bug that had the rear seats removed and had shag carpet instead (pretty cool). On the way back from fishing the driver over corrected on a sweeping turn and flipped the Bug four times. During which time the battery arose from under my seat and went out the passenger window. We were relatively unharmed but the Bug was toast. Good times.

    I rather like the current beetle to be honest. It ditched cutest for handsome by elongating the roof a little and is better for it. Plus those dish lookalike wheels look real nice in motion

    • @ZDY66666

    Also in my contry this car is so easy to fix that some people use pliers and wire, and make a shit Ton of mods, like putting a 2.0L 4cyl turbo beetween 300hp to 700hp FOR DRAG RACING, some people survive, some get injured, and few one dies (but is rare bcs Brazilian RWD drivers are actually pretty good)
    Our love for the for the car "Fusca" (Thats How we call the beetle) is so big that this car even have a day called "dia do Fusca" that means the "beetle's day", the when is celebrated the day the beetle for realesed here, a really cool day
