The Bugster
I followed a link from somewhere on ecomod and found a german vw site that showed the Bugster. Sort of the 2010's version of the economy porsche.

It showed obviously a vw bug with an Audi tt type of lower roof. Sort of custom.

Does anyone have any info on it?

I'm pretty sure the Bugster is a VW concept car.

Wow Tony, We are lucky to see a VW of any type around here.

My next car will be a VW. My 86 is that good.

You're welcome... I think? What kind of info does a useless post contain that is worth thanking?

When I did it (only took a few seconds even with my glacially slow dial-up ) the first page of hits were very informative and were complete with pics. I only had to look at a few of the synopses and open the Motor Trend page to pretty much know what the Bugster was all about.

Too bad your Google doesn't do that.

Yeah it was a pretty snide comeback on my part. Besides the 1.4 million hits. I was wondering if anyone "here" had any comments.
