It's here -- the new Beetle, as Germany's famous Volkswagen (VW) car is known. One or two models have been on show for a while at art galleries, showrooms and car shows. It has been in the fashion and lifestyle sections of newspapers all over the world. It has been parked on city streets and the old and the young alike have kneeled before it. The new model inherits the solid spirit of the old one, but marketing message goes even further with its emphasis on Serious Fun.
The "People's car" ("Volkswagen" in German) was the idea of car manufacturer Ferdinand Porsche. He signed an agreement with the German motor industry association in 1934 to produce a proper small, reliable car that ordinary people could afford, as opposed to the luxury motor cars which German companies preferred. Porsche had obviously looked over the sea at what Henry Ford had been able to achieve with the all-round, popular Model T Ford. The first model in its final form was completed in 1938. In 1961, production reached a million VW cars a year.
