One of the most popular Portuguese newspapers in Brazil, Folha de Sao Paulo, has published an interesting comparison for both Beetle models, a ‘79 Beetle versus a new Beetle.

The writer is a popular journalist in Brazil who owns himself a 1979 model and had the chance to ride a new one, Mexican made, for 20 days.

The journalistic matter itself says almost nothing but nostalgia, but the comparison pictures are interesting.

Thanks Samy, to share this information with us!
