In defense of the Bug (younger generation thinking):
Back Seat Space.
New Beetle: 60/40 SPLIT folding rear seats.

Every bug I've owned had the ability to drop the rear seat down. Amazing what you can fit in that little car. I once had the driver's side window shatter. I went to buy replacement glass and could find none. A scrapyard sold me an entire door for $5.00. That fit in the car without having to remove any of the seats.

I can remember sitting with my sister in the well behind the rear seat of the family's '63 Type 1 rolltop because my dad had packed the car for a week at the beach. I must have been all of four at the time. Don't know how the two of us were kept happy for two hours like that. Do that today and you'll be arrested for child abuse.

There used to be kits to change the bug's nose to a Rolls grille. My father preferred the other variant which was something like a 30's Plymouth or a '40 Ford Coupe. Never got that done, though.
