They proudly drive away with the New Beetle
The smiles were not masked on a bright Sunday morning. The families had much to be thrilled about when they took delivery of the first three Volkswagen New Beetles on Sunday.
H Nandi, managing director of a leading company in the networking and last mile access segment, was one of the proud owners. Looking on lovingly at the New Beetle car, he took delivery with his family. The other two owners are from two major construction companies in the city.
All the three cars were in geckho green — a pale shade of the colour — with sleek lines and a welcoming flower stuck near the steering wheel. Each of these Volkswagen New Beetles costs upward of Rs 20 lakh. The handing over was followed by a rally of the other vintage bugs in the city, the members of the Bangalore Beetle Club. Founder of the club, Chitra Shyamsundar, said the rally was being held for a cause, though the new cars were in fact a cause for celebration. The rally went from the Volkswagen showroom on Palace Cross Road to Infantry Road, Cubbon Road, through old Airport Road to KGA Golf Course.
ORIGINAL BEETLE
The Volkswagen original Beetle was an economy car produced by the German auto maker Volkswagen (VW) from 1938. It was the benchmark for American compact cars such as the Chevrolet Corvair, and subcompact cars such as the Chevrolet Vega and Ford Pinto. The car was known as Kafer, the German word for beetle, from which the English nickname originates. It was not until August 1967 that the Volkswagen corporation itself began using the name Beetle in marketing materials in US.
NEW AVATAR
In 1998, many years after the original model had been dropped from the lineup in most parts of the world (production continued in Mexico until it was discontinued officially on July 9, 2003), VW introduced the New Beetle (built on a Volkswagen Golf Mk4 platform) which bore cosmetic resemblance to the original. The New Beetle was designed by Mays and Freeman Thomas at the company’s California design studio.
New Beetles are manufactured at Volkswagen Group’s Puebla, Mexico assembly plant. The car, with its (water-cooled) engine at the front, is related to the original only in name, general shape and some styling cues.
