ft has a trunk that carries twice as much as •
any Beetle ever. -
It has a completely new suspension system
for a softer ride.
The front track is wider -for better handling.
The brakes are bigger for quicker stops.
It has a longer wheelbase than the Beetle.
Yet it has a shorter turning radius for easier
parking.
All in all, it's 89 ways better than the Beetle

Thereby making it. the only new small car
this year that stands any chance of replacing
the Volkswagen.
And if you think about it, that shouldn't come
as any great surprise.
Because this year, of all years, if anyone was
going t'o build a new small car to be better than
the Volkswagen, you knew who it would be.
