| The 2017 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible 1.8T Dune. |
For the better part of 20 years now, carmakers have been indulging in nostalgia...making new cars that look a lot like old (50s-60s-70s) ones. Mustang, Camaro, Jaguars and Thunderbirds from the aughts...all meant to evoke what those cars used to look like. It all arguably began with the 1998-2011 New Beetle, and continues with the current generation Beetle, which has seen 50s, 60s and
70s Edition models...and now the Dune, which is named after and is nothing like a variety of old-school Beetles VW had virtually nothing to do with, other than providing the donor vehicle for some shade tree modifications.
