first of all mr charizard, if it was a defect, VW wouldn't have spent millions designing it. True, there is no real excuse for not putting such technology in pretty much every car on the market. It has been out for a while and is relatively cheap. However you're forgetting one minor detail. Corporations are greedy. They want to spend as little as possible on cars that they are going to sell for the $20kish range.
If it's such a safety issue, then don't drive the car. Simple as that. Nobody held a gun to anybodies head and said you must buy a NBC or I'm going to kill you. Yes you may think it looks "iconic" or "cute" but nobody made you do it. You took a test drive and should have weighed the pros and cons before you made a decision.
I am not employed by VW nor have I ever been. I'm what you call a person with common sense. Yes hard to believe it I know, there aren't many of those around anymore but it's true.
I fail to see how everybody thinks that the new Beetle looks nothing like the original. It would be more correct to say that the 98-2010 NB looked nothing like the original. The model that is out now is what they should have done in the first place. Anybody who things the NB is the most perfect replica of the old beetle must have never seen one, or has very bad skills at comparing things.
