When they announce a self driving Plymouth Fury, I’m out.
Why? At least that one can heal itself.
NGL if VW made modernized versions of their classic cars (ie: newer interior, classic looking exterior, maybe w/o all the stainless steel) I would be all over it
To borrow Jeremy Clarkson’s joke - VAG do still also make the Porsche 911!
This threw me off for a hot minute. I used to know a guy who went by the nickname “Vag” (with a hard “g”), so when I read this, I thought to myself, “Vag! I wonder how Vag is doing?” But you’re talking about VAG, not Vag. Now I’m just trying to cram as much vag as I can into this paragraph. So much vag. Vag vag vag. Thank you.
Mexico still makes the classic beetle. Not sure about the minibus. I see a lot of them, but those may be actual antiques.
They stopped making the original in 2003 and all models in 2019.
“Their” with huge quotation marks
That looks more like the first SAAB to me than a VW.
There od a modern beetle.
They said “classic looking exterior” which the new beetle doesn’t have. But problem is, you can’t really have that, largely due to safety regulations, etc.
I thought it looks similar, but yeah, it’s not direct copy. Still, I really like the look of new beetle.
It’d likely be yet another instance of spyware on wheels, tho
The only self driving car that can be trusted.
Idk man Herbie had some serious attitude. Feisty lil bug
Feisty, sure, but that’s his style. He’s the love bug, unlike Horace.
I mean, look how bad he fucked up Lindsay Lohan.
🎶 the love bug is a little old car that we can ride together 🎵
I want a K.I.T.T. car from the knight rider show.
It is shipped with a fullsize lifeguard from Baywatch if you need one.
Alright, if it’s been looking for Freedom for so long, I’ll be happy to take him.
Yeah more trustworthy, until it’s mating season.
Maybe this one is better, has great security features I’ve heard
I don’t think I need to say much else here.
I got a GPS that speaks with KITT’s voice, and my name is the same as the character’s (along with about half the male population lol)
Calling KITT self driving is like calling a modern smartphone a phone. It’s a super computer AI on wheels, where Herby was just cursed
KITT is self driving in the same way that people are self walking.
However, this probably does.
I’ll buy a Herbie all day long!!!
Don’t trust it, it got Lindsay Lohan on drugs!
Nah, you’re thinking of the 2005 model year. This 1969 model is perfect.
I feel like not many people under the age of 30 will get this. I think I may have even forgotten to force my own kids to watch it.
I’m in my early 20s and I have this super vague memory of a beetle car being sentient. The only scene I remember is it spraying oil cus it didn’t like someone or something like that
Am I thinking of the right movie
Drag saw Herbie and didn’t like it. Brum has much more character.
I’m over 30 and was only vaguely aware of it because it was mentioned once in a youtube video.
What kind of kit does it come with? I like mine Fully Loaded.
No, KITT was a Pontiac.
Oh god! Herbie! I thought you were all forgotten!
A Volkswagen with a mind of its own!
It can lie about it’s own emissions levels!
It works fine for a while, but eventually it Goes Bananas.
Because or thanks to you we watch the First film this evening
Old looking shit with modern interior should actually happen
