Science Abuse Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 Something I noticed when driving around the other day. I beleive this car to have the most recognizable shape in automotive history. So I made these two pics and showed them to my girlfreind, a very not'car'person, and she instantly got them. So, raise your hand if you instantly recognize this shape. http://thewoodomain.net/files/11/side.jpg Now, try and find something as easliy identified. Then show this and yours to some one without a car'clue and see which they get right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Science Abuse Posted January 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 I got one... http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a6/qwik5o/GUESSITCHEATER.jpg Non car people might mistake that as an NSX. Plus, take that to any other country and see what they say. I'd bet a bag of UN grain that an ethiopian kid could guess the 911. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinner Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 I think a old bettle would as recongnizable as a 911 if not more so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Pomade Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 Non car people might mistake that as an NSX. Non-car people in all likelihood wouldn't have a clue as to what an NSX is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRN96WS6 Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 Non-car people in all likelihood wouldn't have a clue as to what an NSX is. I think what you meant to say was non-car people suck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Science Abuse Posted January 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 Non-car people in all likelihood wouldn't have a clue as to what an NSX is. Touche' saleman. But they'd just say "I dunno". In the third world you'd be more likely to see a porsche then a bug, because only the rich will have cars. What premodana war lord spawn 14 year old would be caught dead shooting civilians from a beatle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What premodana war lord spawn 14 year old would be caught dead shooting civilians from a beatle? well since they are still produced in mexico and just about taxi delivery car and business and resident that can affrad a car have one I would say the odds of one one are pretty damn good. and heres the info to prove it 'Old Beetle' Still a Mexican Market Titan Ironically, the Puebla facility's increasing focus on non-Mexican markets has left Mexican consumers as a secondary focus for a plant originally set up largely to serve Latin American markets. Most Mexicans simply can't afford the New Beetle -- generally priced around $20,000 - that now dominates Puebla production. Nonetheless, it's hugely important for the Mexican market that the Puebla plant continues to daily turn out some 100 units of the old-style Beetles. In fact, that facility is the only one in the world that still manufactures the classic Beetle. And no wonder. The classic Beetle never came even remotely close to going out of style in Mexico. Even today, many Mexicans regard the retro-Beetle with a reverence that rivals that showered on the Beatles after 1964's release of "Meet the Beatles." Mexicans continue to revere the classic Beetles for their reasonable price (currently around $6,700) and their durability on Mexico's sometimes-rough roads. Auto analysts, in fact, estimate that more than 1.1 million old-style Beetles are on the road in Mexico. That makes up more than one of every eight passenger cars in the entire country. In fact, the old-style Beetles -- known in Mexico by the Spanish word "Vocho" -- remain so popular in Mexico that they're the subject of a monthly magazine: "Vochomania," a slick publication that even has a "Beetle of the Month" centerfold. Undoubtedly, "Vocho" sales will continue to be strong in the Mexican market in the near future. and the link to back it up. http://www.conway.com/ssinsider/bbdeal/bd000117.htm so you still think the beatle is less recognizable then the 911 Oh and Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking for specific make and model. Shawn, like I said, the Beetle may have a hand in this game, but you've got to think outside of mexico, despite the fact that they fuck like catholics. BUT, Both the car are still designed by the same family. Ferdinand (beetle) and his son Ferry (heheheh) Porsche (911). http://www.ehrlesparty.com/images/International/German%20Flag.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
