When you hear volkswagen what do you think of...... I bet it's the beatle
Everyone knows what volkswagen is.... It's hard to find a country where the beatle hasn't been. Isn't the beatle the most massed produced car? How many people know what the size of a Peugeot is? I don't
Just thought i'd jump into this thread
