I always thought of a halo car as a specific model that gets people into the showroom. When the NB came out back in 1998, people were excited and nostalgic to see the reincarnated version of the original Beetle. As a result, VW sales skyrocketed with all models; Jettas, Passats, Golfs, etc. besides the New Beetle! Unfortunately, it didn't last.....
