People loved it, and on all of the world’s continents the small car was nicknamed according to precisely what it looked like: Beetle, Käfer, Vocho, Coccinelle, Fusca, Maggiolino or 甲壳虫! It embodied the automotive concept itself and symbolized the democratization of mobility. 21.5 million cars were sold. Then the New Beetle arrived in 1998.
