Sorry to disagree but the "NEW" VW BUG was available in 1995. I contacted VW during the time they were develpoing this new model for it's 1998 introduction. I paid a fat sum of money to VW for a "ONE AND ONLY" updated verson of the old bug in 1995. The purchase took place on June 9th 1995 (almost 3 and a half years before the general public was introduced to the new bug). The car looked just like the newer VW bug that came out in 1998. However the one I got had the old air cooled motor like the classic VW from the past. I guess VW had not developed the new motor for the VW BUG "VERSON 2" by spring 1995. The person I spoke to said they used an old motor they had laying around from when they made the original bug. The person I talk to said the motor was never used, and was as good as a new one.

Yeah just imagine the engineering cost for this one off. Sounds like a hoax to me.

Indeed. If it existed at all, the "ONE AND ONLY" car for which a "fat sum of money" was paid was nothing more than one of the rear engine Beetles that VW continued to build in Mexico until 2003.

Sounds to me like you wanted your parents to give you a Mustang GT!!! I see nothing in your comments that indicates that the car has performed poorly...
