Even though the Volkswagen New Beetle wasn’t the most futuristic car design, I think if there was any car that defined 1997-2004 it was the Volkswagen New Beetle. It’s iconic design by J Mays and Freeman Thomas got such a positive public public reaction when it displayed as “concept one” at the North American International Auto Show in 1994, that Volkswagen decided to make a production model. From 1998 to 2010 more than 1 million Volkswagen New Beetles would be sold.
