T3: RE: New Bug

["Erkson, Toby" <toby.erkson@intel.com>]

I don't believe VW turned their back to the Type I...they just moved on to
their
new car lines just like every other manufacturer out there.  We were just
lucky 
that VW hit the perfect market mix and was able to produce the Type I as
long as
it did (well, still is if you include Mexico).  It actually looks like VW
has 
woken up to the fact that the old VW scene is a valid and *thriving* market
-- 
why not capitalize on it?

Personally, I think German autos kick-butt and I would be honored if my 
dealership asked me to have my classic VW next to the new model.  Hey, my
baby 
is the Jetta's older sister (well, I should say "more mature", very much
like 
Raquel Welch, older but still damn sexy)!  Hmmm, maybe when I get the
five-speed
installed I'll give 'em a ring.  ;)

and
now they want our support to promote their new plastic toy...
