A car which had been mostly underappreciated everywhere and everytime, fetching such a high price, is quite surprising. It was never actually meant to be an icon, unlike the Beetle which used to be surrounded by politics through most of its extended production runs in Mexico and Brazil for instance, and even in landyacht-happy America it's hard to find any good example of another successful car smaller than a Corolla from the same period being highlighted the same way the Beetle is on a worldwide basis.
