Whatever the successor it needs beetle traits: DIY maintenance or lack thereof, cheap parts, simple home repairs. Notice I did not mention reliable, cheap purchase,high economy. I had documents where my 72 super originally cost as much as dad's buick, and as much as my Pinto. The super got 25 city, 32 highway for 500k miles I owned it, the pinto did 28/40, hard to say on the buick since it had a tendency to smoke the tires when I drove it.
