Joe: I had a 67 Bug which was fine for snow but never cared for the gas heaters in them. You had to drive the old bugs hard to keep up with traffic or to go up steep hills or mountains here in Penna. Fifty three horse power isn't much even in 1968. The Karmann Ghia Cabriolet and Coupes were nothing more than rust buckets here in the states.

The VW that I have liked the most over the years besides the Bug are the old Scirocco.

The only thing that I will say bad about any German auto company is Mercedes. The bastards ran Chrysler Corp into the ground in my opinion.
