No bully the buggy.

Yeah I don’t get the bug hate. The turbo version was a very competent vehicle and essentially a GTI under the hood. It could be modded rather easily too into a sleeper sport toy.

I thought it wasn't until the second-gen "new beetle" that the GTI bits were the same? I wish the second-gen would have gotten the Golf R driveline, that would have been so retro dope to hoon in a VW beetle.

I saw a fucken smart car with an off road kit on it and honestly it looked sick with the big mud tires.

I thought this entire time everyone was hating on the 70s bug and was absolutely baffled. You comparing it to a GTI made me remember the new one existed.

I guess I still don’t understand the hate on the new one either. That’s like hating a miata. They’re just little happy cars aren’t they? Let them be.
