I’m a sucker for TurboFan wheels

Iconic is nice, but antiquated is antiquated no matter what. As much as everyone complained at the time, nobody really misses the Checker cabs in NYC anymore, and now as the crown vic’s are fading away nobody’s really lamenting them either. (Aside from the fleet managers)

That was Chrysler’s thinking with their CCV concept for developing markets in the ‘90s. Though emissions standards make air cooled engines difficult. But, the last Mexican Beetles did have modern fuel injection and catalytic converters, so maybe they weren’t terribly dirty.
