The New Beetle concept was to have three options, ICE, hybrid and full electric.
Quote:
I believe that all of my repairs for all of my cars over 20 years would have paid for one 2000 Civic, but I feel confident that if you buy a brand-new Volkswagen you pay for it all over again with repairs.

This was created out of a junkyard. 1957 body on a one year old (at the time) floorpan. Pic was after a front-end collision. Drove it for nine years.
This was purchased out of a farmer's field as shown, less the sunroof, stance, wheels and tires. I forget: mid-70s until 2000?
Push-button doors on an oval window body. Complete with angle iron bumpers.
It was the least expensive option in the day. I sold the 38hp sunroof on when I got the notchback. If I had it today it would be a perfect donor for an EV conversion. Ready for another 65 years.
Nowadays I have survivors, Like the last two Superbeetles.
