Well after a long time
beetle will be coming to India but I most point out some thing of this new beetle. My
family owns a very old(2th hand) beetle and I do offend drive it. and I had a
chance to see and drive new beetle in Delhi(in the showroom of volks ato)
Firstly as you know "Volks
Auto" in German mean people’s automobile and the beetle was made for the
people(like in India maruti 800 and today as nano) as it was
small and more affordable plus the body was very strong but the beetle which is
coming to India will be costing round about 11 to 20 lacs and the body of the care is like
maruti 800(flexible type) so why to buy beetle why not Mercedes-Benz, Nissan 370Z , Volkswagen Polo, Chevrolet Beat etc I think only people who will buy the car
will be totally mad for beetle and who have lot and lot and lot of money .
Bytheway I totally unable to understand why company are making small
cars which are totally costly
e.g Fiat 500………….
