for me it would have to be 1967 and earlier Type 2

I hate driving them, I hate working on them, they're too expensive.

It has nothing to do with hippies, gypsies, mullets, ferrets, or carrots ( Grin), flower power or stinky showers, they are just torture to drive, own, work on.

For me its the start of the water pumper cars - Rabbit, Dasher, etc...

A close second are the later 70's - I never liked how the tail lights kept getting larger, and uglier. Roll Eyes Tongue

411/ 412 , plus having to pull the engine on an air conditioned bug results in ugly language.

Super Beetles, Vanagons, Anything water cooled or fuel injected, and I think early Buses are easier to work on then Bugs and a blast to drive. I agree about the too expensive part though. They used to be cheap.

I can put up with late model Beetles up to '72. Cant stand Super Beetle 'verts. Hate big bumpered Ghia's. Of course 411/412's and pig nosed type 3's, too. Water coolers are different all together.... apples vs oranges

No, if this were the CLF we would be yelling at each other over squishy pistons.  Roll Eyes

There was a 411 woody wagon in one of the mags a few years ago that looked killer. Only reason folks don't like them is no one has found a way to make them cool looking.

 I like 412's. With a little effort they could look quite good! I also like the later type 3's.
 I don't like late big-bumpered ghia's, the Ghia is just too curvy/round for the later bumpers
 I don't like American supers either. And I also don't like later type 2's
 Type 2a and earlier are quite cool... (but too expensive indeed)
 Oh and the 411.. that nose... yuck...
