When I bought my wife a New Beetle for our anniversary (our first new car
ever; love it!) , the dealer mentioned  how much a replacement "switchblade"
key cost if you lost/broke one.  I don't recall the exact price (about
$30??) but it was high enough to make me glad that I can get replacements
for my Vanagon key at the local hardware store for a buck. Apparantly the
Beetle keys are dealer-only and not easily duplicated in a pinch (or at a
reasonable price).
