New Beetle Sales......Oh Dear...
« on: November 08, 2012, 07:38:04 pm »
VW are offering a £1500 deposit contribution on the new Beetle already! Can't exactly be flying out of the showrooms then.

TBH, it's no surprise. If you design a car aimed at 52% of the population and a few Big Gay Bears, what do you expect?

I certainly can't recall VW doing this on a car so recently launched. They barely ever do it, unless the model is on it's last legs before replacement.

tbh
I think the new beetle looks a lot better than the model it replaced, I still don't want one.
As said above every model has a contribution if you buy on finance. makes you think that they are pushing sales.

I must be one of those big gay bears then cos I would have a new beetle any day.....as long as it was the turbo! I think they look awesome, especially when modified!  :P
I think like other car manufacturers they are trying everything they can to create interest and sales in the brand. Isn't the £1500 deposit dependant on the purchaser tasking out vw finance?

That'll be because she is a lady, for whom the Beetle is designed. You've got to be a bit "Hello Sailor" to drive one if you've got meat and 2 veg!  :grin:

I am a sailor too.  :pomppomp:

There was a top of the range one at the Gold cup in the summer, and it was lovely. It also had a crowd of people stopping to take a look.   :wink:

Ive had 5 new beetles in the past and loved everyone of them....although they were all modified. I've been called all sorts when I had mine and it made me even more determined to keep buying them to wind them up! As RR would say ETTO! :happy2:

As Mark will testify (The Big Gay Bear) I've never been a fan of the 'New' Beetle but the latest offering is much easier on the eye, and dare I say it a bit more masculine!  :pomppomp:
