Will there be a beetle?
 
I know all of you have said that the ZZ Beetle doesn't exist, but it may. Here's why: RS has a product number and everything for it. Here's where it's at: Beetle. The interesting thing is that it says it can be bought at 1-800-THE-SHACK. Anyone willing to try it out? You guys might not want the Beetle anymore because there is a BCG one, but news is news.

Yes UGH there will be a beetle out soon. The manager at my local RS said possable late May in stores. I gave him me phone number, he said he would hold one and call as soon as they arrive. :D

I really don't want another beetle, but I'm sure someone will. That product number looks like the older cars pro number, this page could just be a remnant left in the website.

That is the old Beelte that we never got to see and may never see. In our system at work it is a discontinued item number.

The car was never approved. Here's the pic. Volswagon didn't like the design and refused to let RS release them.

thats a good thing they didnt relese those bug bodies! there hella ugly. maybe if they made the front and back whell wells shorter they might have gotten the relese.

Stridex - are those from the key pics? If so, could you post them separately and any other you may have. I am trying to settle a dispute and the arhument is that these pics are doctored. Thanks.

Stridex 05-01-2003 12:25 PM

This picture is doctored to merge the two cars together, but these were listed on RadioShack.com for quite some time. You had to type in the order number to find them.

These are the real deal or should I say were the real deal.

i think the roof is a little low on these beetles, that and the stretched wheel wells look messed up and probably the reason why VW asked RS to drop it

MadScott 05-01-2003 01:56 PM

Yeah, that and you can't see the flower holder by the steering wheel!

that beetle is pretty bad....if they do release one i hope it looks better than that. worst looking zip body ever.

airline2 05-02-2003 07:16 AM

I would not but it anyway

charliebrown 05-02-2003 07:38 AM

I don't think those VW beetles look so bad... In fact, I think they look even better than the Porsche shells.
