Volkswagen Beetle in India by mid 2009!

Hi Friends!
The iconic VW Beetle does not need any introduction even if you live in a country that’s little known for cars. It is one of the biggest success stories ever to be recorded in the history of Automobiles, reincarnated in 1998 directing many manufacturers to look back into their earlier cars for future plans.

The new VW Beetle has been on sale since 1998 and has changed little since then. Many reports have emerged recently claiming the Beetle will be replaced by a next-gen car based on the VW Polo within two years time.

The Beetle was showcased at the recently concluded Mumbai International Auto Show. People thought it was merely a show car from VW to publicize the brand and attract people to the show. But no, it’s underlying purpose was to see people’s reaction towards the car as VW had launch plans in mind.

Andreas Prinz Managing Director, Volkswagen-
We have studied the market and feel that there is space for Beetle. We are planning to make it available in the middle of this year through imports

Great news vibhor. This car looks great. Isn't this car a 500 competitor? So much will be the price, will it be untouchable like 500 or will it be available at a bargain(in the region of Fabia)?

Thats really a great news for beetle lovers :)

I hope it should compete with 500, now its a tough call for 500!!
