Agreed. It looks like the love child of a Karmann Ghia and a Toyota Prius.

I just threw up alittle. If they want to bring back the karmann ghia, just make it looks exactly like the original with minor mods, kind of like the new challenger.

My very first car was a '74 Karmann Ghia. I was 19 and bought it from another teenage girl who wanted a KG because Molly Ringwald drove one in 'Pretty in Pink'. It had been a show car. Candy Apple red, red Formuling France steering wheel, peacock blue interior with red trim. I loved it, but it was a money pit. I realized that the mechanic I was taking it to was taking advantage of me, a teenage girl who was very naive. He'd fix one problem, and plant another one in it. A lot of people were warning me about him and his brother, but I ignored them because I trusted everyone.

I miss it. I'd love to have another one some day. It sucked not having air conditioning though. The heating in that car was great though!
