Subject:New beetle name
From:Don Gibbons

Considering the treatment of us by VW and the distaste of the name "New beetle"
what about "Water bug" as a grass roots renaming for VW's car they should have
made in 76 after they killed the REAL beetle. After all at first the beetle was
just a VW type 1, the public named it the beetle.
