Looks like it worked.

I would hardly say pitiful. Some might say that the body design is pitfully outdated also. I do not understand; gas keeps going up and we still keep wanting more HP and bigger cars. I know the bug is no bigger but look at the Civic, Jetta, Passat, Corolla, and Nissan's line and on and on. these are the little cars that took the market away from the big three and now that just keep getting fatter and fatter.
