Customer Reviews

Great book about how the New Beetle was born

After having followed the New Beetle from its first concept I wanted to know the full story. This books tells it all and it has some great pictures of the various prototypes and special models. There's even a picture of a NB in Herby style (by Neuspeed). I recommend this book for everyone who wants to know the full NB story.

Worth every penny!!

What a good read! I don't necessarily read car books, but this was a cover to cover good story! The photography is top-notch as well. A non-enthusiast will enjoy the book and will likely become a full-time enthusiast by reading. VW-fanatics won't be disappointed. Plenty of R & D-type stuff in here to keep you interested. Also neat that the publisher put the book out with four different colors--one for each of the most popular beetle colors!

Cute little book about a cute little Car

I'm still waiting for my new Beetle, but in the meantime, I've got this great picture book! I loved the color photos, the history of NB and the side-by-side comparisons of the Beetle vs. Golf. This book is a must for all NB enthusiasts, especially those affected by NBAD (New Beetle Affective Disorder). If you read only one book this year, read this!

I want this car!!!!!

This book is a must for a true Beetle enthusiast, whether it's the Classic Beetle or the New Beetle or both. The color photos are incredible. I especially like the two-page photo of the old and the new side-by-side with the Alps as the backdrop. This car and this book make me SMILE. The author details the history of the New Beetle from its inception, the enthusiasm it evoked, and the tireless hours spent on perfecting the finished product. Any Beetle lover will love this book. You will want it in your library.

This is a great and must-read book.

This book is full of great information and has cunning chapter titles. The colorful pictures are a lively touch to the book.I look forward to seeing more pieces by this excellent writer.
