Mini & Beetle

[Diabando]

This is something I have been thinking about lately, sort of swirling it around in my mind..and decided it was time to get some other opinions on the subject.

The VW Beetle and the Mini...

Both of these cars, years and years ago when they were first designed, were specifically made and produced for the people who could not afford a brand new car, for mums or families as a second car...they were designed to be affordable. They were the heros of the sixties. To this day, they still hold a special place in the hearts of many. Those models, still are, and always will be, legends.

So now the manufacturers bring out the new beetle and the new mini...with price tags higher than most luxury cars!!

To me, its just not right... I know I am being sentimental and probably expecting too much considering the economic climate...but still...its just not right!!!

How do you all feel about it??
