You see, VW do Brazil stopped the production of the Fusca (Bug) in 1986, but demands were so high that they started the assembly of the peoples car again, in 1993. Of course, it was a "new" model, and it had to go through a crash test, which it did with flying colors. I do not have any info about the speed etc, all I know is that it is a Brazil car, not a Mexican. (there are some differences) Email me, and I'll send you the pic! PerL 88 Syncro |
