Good news for all Bug lovers in India.
"Beetle will come here. After strengthening our dealership network, it will come next year," Volkswagen India president and managing director Joerg Mueller.
I just love this car. Initially I was planning to make enough moneys to get myself an Audi, now if Beetle comes into the market I might change preferences.
But it will cost almost 20 times more than TATA Nano (Which is likely to cost around Rs. 1 lakh) thanks to the high duty (113%) on imported cars. The BUG will be available in 1.9 litre TDI diesel variant.It will have a conventional front
engine, which
will hit a maximum speed of 180 km per hour.
