They also subscribed to what used to be standard engineering practice. Make
it only as complicated as it needs to be.

According to the book, "Small Wonder," the beetle was designed by Dr.
Porsche and the basic design was so good that only refinements were made
over its long manufacturing run. IMHO, if there's any secret to VW's
beetle, it was that they got lots and lots of feedback from owners
bringing the car in with the little glitches. If there was consistency to
a glitch, like a door handle that kept breaking, VW would design a new and
improved one and start using them. The product was continually refined
and improved, within the limitations of the basic design or concept.

I had an '71 Super Beetle and felt it was an excellent car if you
overlooked the lack of heat in IN/MI winters. grin
