Or the Turbo Power Rangers. Just a merchandising ploy.
The original VW had no heater. You wouldn't sell a lot of those up here.
But it did float. I remember a one-off commercial speculating on "what if Ted Kennedy had been driving one."
Too horrifying to think about, that was.
And thank Goodness that Brett has beetled off somewhere and is not around to remind us that the VW was designed by Hitler.
