I was so disappointed after seeing the 2012 Beetle, because the engine is in the wrong place, power goes through the wrong wheels, it's too big, too heavy and too complicated, and also too expensive. I'm a fan of the original Beetle and a hater of the New Beetle, and with this car following in the footsteps of the New Beetle? PLEASE NO!!!
Many people know that the original VW Beetle was produced by Ferdinand Porsche but few know that he was given the design sketches and ordered to produce the "people's car" by Adolf Hitler himself when he came to power shortly after in 1932. It was Hitler who also ordered the construction of the Autobahn back then when only 1.3% Germans owned cars whereas in America it was 20%. Both designs have stood the Test Of Time. And we thought ol' Adolf was good for nothing except killing Jews, no?
@AccordGTR Yes, but Porsche had been kicking around the basic idea for what became the Volkswagen years before Hitler came along, and even built a prototype (the Porsche type 12). It even already had a similar name: "Auto für Jedermann", or "car for everyone".
Hitler's sketches were just doodles, nothing that anyone could use to build a car without a LOT more blueprinting. All he really did was finance the project, and was (perhaps) the first to describe it as looking like a beetle.
@TBustah Hitler coined the name Volkswagen. Hitler directed Porsche to build the car to his specifications - the story wasn;t Porsche went to Hitler to ask money to build the car fyi. Yes Porsche had a design but it was flawed and so they looked at the Czech Tartra car that Hitler wanted to apply to His country. Porsche talked to the chief designer of Tartra and took some of their features. After the war Tartra sued Porsche for copying 10 engineering patents and won - Porsche paid them $10M.
@AccordGTR I KNOW Porsche didn't come to Hitler. I KNOW Hitler gave specs to Porsche. I KNOW about the Tatra scandal.
It doesn't change the fact that Hitler had virtually no involvement with the car. He didn't even care if it succeeded or not, he just used it as a propaganda tool to sway public opinion in his favor.
Hitler came to Porsche, but like I said, Porsche already had the idea. Hitler gave Porsche specs, but they were just basic requirements of what the car had to be able to do.
@TBustah What do you expect him to do, draw a set of blueprints for Porsche?? That's like asking the CEO to sweep the floor or answer the phone. Hello! Hitler had a minister for propaganda, it wasn't his forte. Hitler had a vision, just like any good CEO or leader. for a 1000-year Reich and the VW car was just one of the components. Why else would he order the construction of the Autobahn when Germany only had 1.3% car owners at the time? He was thinking ahead.
Very creative and well done commercial (call me biased, but I am a VW owner, lol). I love how the beetle makes car sounds!! lol! It "revs" at 0:07 and a makes wheel screetching noise at 0:17 and 0:23, haha! :D Wunderbar!
FYI - Black Betty was not originally by Spiderbait OR Ram Jam... it was originally recorded in 1933 by the blues singer Iron Head, just thought I would clear that up.
@Bluesummers1296 No... you get your shit straight, Leadbelly recorded it... but Iron Head was performing it long before... and its origins are even older than that, don't believe me? look it up... so who's the asshole?
@Bluesummers1296 Quit being butt-hurt because you're wrong, you're just showing everyone on here what a pathetic troll you are... maybe you just get off on being a total youtube cunt. What a pathetic life you must have to argue over such minutiae, especially when you're wrong... personally I've got better things to do with my life, so may I suggest you take your meds and calm the fuck down... and have a nice life, its not worth my time to respond again to a thick headed fool such as yourself.

@Sajuek cally it's the jon spencer blues explosion and they did not copy the song from ram jam, ram jam took the song from the african american folk artist huddie william ledbetter more commonly known as lead belly however it is believed that he himself took the song from various other folk artists and the first known recording was made by a little known artist james baker who called himself iron head, other succesful artists to cover the song are spiderbait and tom jones, im a kid
