Why is the Beetle one of the most influential car species in the world?

Because in the 60s of the 20th century, the Beetle was a symbol of "small is beautiful" of the post-war baby boomers. In the international poll for the most influential "20th century car" in the world, the Beetle ranked fourth, behind the Ford Model T, the Mini and the Citroen DS. It is reported that today, the last Beetle car produced by the company will roll off the production line at the factory in Puebla, Mexico, on Wednesday local time, and this "classic model" will be exhibited at the Puebla Museum in Mexico.

Volkswagen said it would hold a ceremony at the plant to celebrate the Beetle's discontinuation. Volkswagen said the plant will be used to produce a compact SUV for the North American market, but declined to give further details.

In fact, as early as September last year, Volkswagen said that it would stop producing the "Beetle" compact sedan in July 2019. On October 12, 1936, three Volkswagen VW-1 cars were delivered on schedule. Hitler decided to build an automobile plant to produce such cars.

Thus "Volkswagen" was born on May 26, 1938.

The original name of the "Beetle" was "Volkswagen Type 1", and the name of the "Beetle" first appeared as a name for the car in the New York Times Magazine on July 3, 1938, and Americans thought the car resembled "a cute little Beetle." From 1967, the car was officially called the "Beetle" in Germany.

The 1951 Beetle has gone through three generations of models and has sold more than 21.5 million units, making it a well-deserved Volkswagen star model. The perfectly rounded front canopy, rounded headlights, classic double doors and fastback styling ......All elements of the Beetle have been passed down for decades. The Beetle has crawled all over Europe and the Americas, and you can even spot it in Detective Conan, which some people miss considerably.

In 1979, Volkswagen stopped selling Beetle models in the United States, but continued to produce them in Mexico and Latin America. The New Beetle was introduced in 1998.

But now that new energy vehicles are becoming more and more popular, and the profitability of niche models is declining, the history of the "Beetle" has finally come to an end.

Because of the Beetle, his best performance is okay, and the shape is unique.

Because it has a deep and great impact on the automotive industry in the whole world.

Because its performance car is very good, everyone likes it very much.

Because in the past, the Beetle car was very popular, and it had a great impact at that time.

It may be because it has existed for a long time, and the improvements in all aspects are more in line with the taste of the public.

First of all, in terms of appearance, the appearance of the Beetle is very unique, and secondly, it is also very cost-effective.

Because the sales of the Beetle exploded directly at a certain time, many people loved it.

Because in the beginning, he was as deeply rooted in the hearts of people as Santana. Known.

Because a long, long time ago, the Beetle appeared as a kind of car classic.

I think there are a lot of reasons, don't you think that's the case?

Beetle car.

The exterior follows the family-style design concept.

**Beetle car.

The front of the car has become elongated, with a smooth line from the roof to the rear. The overall shape is cute and unique, and is well received by riders. The interior of the Beetle is exquisitely made, rigorous and meticulously designed, and the humanization makes the car more elegant and noble.

The unique and diverse style of interior decoration makes netizens describe it as intoxicating. The overall control is light and agile steering wheel.

The pointing is clear, the chassis responds positively to the road surface, the tires have good grip, the driving silence effect is good, and some netizens report that the electronic lifting system is unstable.

The name Extended Information Beatle first appeared in the New York Times Magazine. Americans felt that the car was like a cute little beetle. Since the beginning of the year, the car has been officially called the Beetle in Germany, and before that it was also known as Volkswagen.

After that, the car was called the Beetle in all languages. Volkswagen was further modified and launched a series of models, equipped with an air-cooled in-line cylinder milliliter displacement engine that can output horsepower and kilograms. This sturdy and unique car is the progenitor of the Beetle.

There is no doubt that the reason is that the large-scale emissions incident in the United States has been causing the Volkswagen Group in the past few years.

Incalculable damage was caused. The global sales of the Beetle continued to decline, and the global sales of the Volkswagen Beetle decreased year-on-year in 10,000 units.

There are fewer and fewer manufacturers in the world who insist on producing niche models. Last year, the phaeton model was discontinued, and Volkswagen lost 100 million yuan for every car sold. In addition, even Volkswagen, which is known for its cost reduction, is overwhelmed.

For a model that only has classics and no meaning, there is nothing that can be done in the research and development of new models. Only by accelerating the transformation can there be a way out. Rumor has it that the design of the Beetle was copied from the Czech Republic.

Car brands are too slow and other models are very successful. However, the Porsche-designed Beetle prototype was very similar to the overly dragged model of World War II.

After that, it caused too much delay to the public, and in the end, the public lost the lawsuit and paid the infringement damages.

The Beetle was discontinued in the year, but in the year Volkswagen introduced a new, more modern new Beetle, aimed primarily at female customers. Volkswagen modified the model to appeal to men, with a flatter roof, a smaller spherical body, a larger trunk, and a navigation system. Volkswagen did not immediately plan to revive the Beetle after the discontinuation, but this possibility was not ruled out.

Mainly because the Beetle type car is more beautiful in appearance, and secondly, because it is petite and cute, and it can also achieve a kind of balance. Mainly because the Beetle is cute in appearance, and secondly, because it is relatively cheap and more suitable for women to drive.

Mainly to meet the needs of some people who like cars, it just so happens that the Beetle is in line with the aesthetics of these people, and it is also the use of cute and convenient characteristics.

Because the shell of the beetle is relatively hard and the shape is streamlined, the resistance is small, and the streamlined shape of the beetle is used.

Because of this Beetle's car, it is more suitable for home use, and its lines are relatively smooth, which looks very cute and is very popular with people.

The yellow Beetle is the most popular because it is a very bright color and a very beautiful color, and it has a high return rate.

The red is the most popular, because the red color I see the most in my life is red, and the red color is super beautiful, especially gorgeous, and the return rate is particularly high.

The red Beetle is the most popular because it looks more chic and the color is not easy to collide with other people's cars.

The green Beetle car is the most popular, and this color is also very good-looking, and the audience is very large.

The first generation of the Beetle car was designed by Mr. Ferdinand Porcher. In 1933, Dr. Polscher of Germany designed a car that resembled the shape of a Beetle. Polscher maximized the strengths of the Beetle, making it the king of its class, and the Beetle became synonymous with the car.

The Beetle is an airflow passenger car produced by Volkswagen in Germany in 1934, which first adopted a streamlined body shape. In 1936, Ford successfully developed the Lincoln and Feng streamlined passenger cars on the basis of airflow. The radiator cover of this car is very lean and dynamic, and it is spindle-shaped when looking down on the entire body, which is very distinctive.

Mass production of streamlined bodies began with Volkswagen in Germany. The name Beetle first appeared in the New York Times magazine on July 3, 1938, and Americans thought the car resembled a cute little Beetle. From 1967, the car was officially known as the Beetle in Germany, while until then the car had been called the Volkswagen Type 1.

After that, the car was called the Beetle in all languages. Due to the Second World War, the Beetle was not really mass-produced until 1949, and sold well all over the world with a record of more than 20 million units produced in one model. (Photo by photo:.)

The red and black Beetle is the most popular because this color is the closest to the original Beetle, and it is also very original, so this color is more popular.

The black carapace is the most popular, it looks very atmospheric, it is also very high-end, very designed, and the lines are very smooth.

Red is the most popular because red is very bright, it is a very active color, and it is very bright to go out.

Pale yellow. This kind of Beetle car is very cost-effective, and the appearance is also very high, which is very popular with consumers.

As we all know, Volkswagen is the world's first-class car manufacturer, and the Beetle, as one of the earliest and most classic models of Volkswagen, what is unique about it that makes it stand out, I believe everyone has doubts in their hearts.

Some cars are tools, some are toys, and some are props.

However, the Beetle is not a toy, it is a feeling. Needless to say, the unique design language of the Beetle has conquered many young women over the years.

But if you're going to buy a practical car for home, I guess it's not suitable. The two-door design is destined to be positioned as a "fun little car". The cute and rounded shape is where its biggest competitiveness lies.

But what people who really like the Beatles, what they really love, is its history and feelings, which is something that cannot be replaced.

If you want to buy a Beetle, I still hope you think about your needs. If you are financially free and have other cars at home, the Beetle is still good as a supplement, and the unique appearance is also good to drive out, which can earn enough eyeballs. But if it is the first car in the family, the Beetle is still lacking in practicality, and it is not recommended to buy it.

Volkswagen Beetle, it should be said that there was a Beetle first, and then there was Volkswagen. The development of the Beetle was carried out earlier than the establishment of Volkswagen. After so many years, the Beetle has also derived more models, witnessing the changes of the times.

It's a bit similar to golf. Most of the people who buy the Beetle have written feelings in it.

After more than 80 years of evolution, the third-generation new Beetle is more masculine and sporty in appearance, and the front face, especially the position of the bumper, has added some edges and corners. In this way, the new Beetle is a bit leaning towards the perspective of male users, but on the whole, the Beetle still retains most of the traditional elements in it, wrapping round headlights, and the front and rear 1 to 1 body, making you stupid and unclear from the front and rear of the car.

Volkswagen, which has been complained about in the interior, has also changed on the Beetle. The interior is more diversified in color, the multi-color interior is younger, with the color of the exterior body, echoing inside and out, and the air outlet dashboard maintains round elements, although it is not as distinctive as mini, but this interior is very satisfactory to me. The overall is relatively simple, the function buttons are clear at a glance, and it is still very good for female drivers and easy to use.

The Beetle is positioned as a compact model, and there is no problem with the front space (basically all cars have decent front seats). There is no need to say much in the back, friends who buy Beetles can plan to only seat two people in this car. Thanks to the arched roof design, the headroom feels good, and there will be no oppressive feelings.

To be honest, there are no highlights when driving, and the only highlight should be fuel economy. The displacement, the small body, see this or use it in the city. The steering wheel steering is relatively light, which is suitable for girls to drive.

Volkswagen officially announced that the Beetle will be discontinued in 2019, and friends who have feelings and financial wealth can consider it. In terms of practicality, it is still recommended to consider it, after all, the power space is placed here.

I've been buying bugs for a year, so let's talk about how I feel.

Exterior aside, classic and stylish.

Driving-wise, the sunroof glass has a large area and is very well lit. The long glass on the side doors is long, and although the semi-circular vault of the roof is slightly pressed down, the space in the driver's position is still open and comfortable. The piano paint panel design with the same color as the body inside is very much the finishing touch, with a nostalgic design sense of the metal interior of the car nearly 100 years ago.

The seat design is very ergonomic, with a wrapping feeling, and it is comfortable to sit on. The design of the slightly smaller steering wheel, the front mechanical instrument panel, tire temperature, chronograph and turbo pressure gauge, and the design of the small door handle of the storage compartment give people the feeling that the public is very serious about the performance of the car. Sitting inside, there is a feeling of driving a classic classic car, and you can feel a high-quality enjoyment and pleasure when sitting in the car.

The difference between the Beetle and models such as the Mini is that the length and width of the Beetle are actually close to the normal A-class car, and the rear seat space is also abundant. I'm 1.7 meters tall, sitting in the back row, my head doesn't touch the roof, and the legroom is not very cramped, so I can sit in the back for a long time.

The driving style of the Beetle is more American, and the overall is relatively comfortable, the chassis is slightly stiff, and the sound and body feel of the over-protruding manhole cover will be. In fact, starting and acceleration are OK, compared to such a small displacement, I am very satisfied with the power, and the fuel consumption is really good. Driving at high speed to more than 80, there is still some noise, after all, the positioning of this car is mainly for urban households, and it is not launched for long-distance driving.

In short, I think this Beetle is both eye-catching and practical, and not a pure vase car.
