Besides their own cars and commercial vehicles, VW also owns Audi, Bentley, Bugatti, Lamborghini, Porsche, Seat, Skoda, Scania, MAN, and Ducati motorcycles. Quite the automotive giant.
Greetings from South Africa. The beetle was also popular in the 60's when Disney came out with the Film "The Love Bug" which was the first of a few films of a Beetle that drives by itself, which we all now simply know as Herbie.
The old Beetles and Karman Ghias are the best cars in the world. I ditched my Mercedes, and Jaguars and other luxury cars after a test drive in a Beetle. I was hooked eversince and i drove everywhere in my old Beetles and Ghias.
I am suprized with all the anti-Nazi Germany setiment in America, that the VW Beatle would be still touted as a desirable car. I am restoring a 2001 New Beatle right now and wondering if at some point, people will target these cars for destruction.
Probably Volkswagen is the only group to own 3 sports car manufacturers at once; Porsche, Lamborghini & Bugatti. In addition, a motorcycle manufacturer Ducati is also there owned by Lamborghini which in turn is owned by Audi which is directly owned by Volkswagen. Surprising!
Germans failed to make this car reliable, especially the new beetle. I wished germans would be only designers & give toyota japan a contract to manufacture the new beetle that would last as forever as toyota corolla
I’d love to go back to 1967 and get a new Beetle, Karmann Ghia, and Transporter. So fun and so easy to repair!
Thank you, Adolf. Nicely done!

It has become the GM of Germany.
So sad the announcement of the end of the Beetle... RIP, Bug!
Any other guys drive a beetle??? I'm proud of mine, are you?

I drive a 2000 New Beetle with a TDI 5 speed. Guys drive the diesels to nearly 1 million miles.
They are probably driving Smart Cars!!

A total classic that will remain that way.

If I got pulled over by a VW Beetle police car, then I'd be asking myself the question, for the rest of my life, why I stopped.
Cute car
I love my 2019 Beetle SE in pure white 😍
How do you fit 6 elephants in a Volkswagen Beetle? 3 in the front & 3 in the back!

Great are only the VW-works and the production and sales numbers of the original beetles !
24:46 Volkswagen needs to drop the new ahem that thing they call a 'Beetle' and bring out that concept car they call the Dune
If they mentioned the military Kubelwagen, I missed it.
Don't think we did. Only so much time. And we didn't have any footage of the Kubelwagen.
6:04 "WHO'S NEXT!"
I might have missed that part of this Video.
Did they mention "The Thing" or the Kubelwagen???
I'm betting we didn't but an interesting story.

NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BUG
The first beetle in 1949? I saw Hitler in one in 36. Well a clip of him. And I love how you see a classic Mercedes with a beetle soundtrack. Funny. 😁

'Contingent', not 'contingency'.
The new VW cars have horrible maintenance records.
And smell like cabbage!
@@2Truth2you 😆
Not mine!
21:14 The new Beetle never cut it. Ugly and crap design. The new Mini did look cool but had a tiny boot. The newest Minis look like dog's vomit.
Who'd think a water cooled VW Beetle
