I noticed something interesting when I was reading the Dallas Morning News
Sunday classified section tonight.  I noticed a local dealer (non-VW) had
several New Beetles for sale starting at $20,995.  A few ads down someone (a
private party) had a fully loaded 1998 Passat for sale for sale for $20,995.
I think the New Beetles are as cute as everyone does but let's get real!  A
new Beetle is not in the same league as the  Passat .   I think lot of
people who paid $20,000+ for their New Beetle are going to be very sorry a
few years down the road.  And with an initial production run of 50,000 I do
not think they are going to be true collectors cars for a long time to come.


Just my 2 cents.
