not only the VW bus slammed but the caravan is too
caravan has had the chassis lifted in the body
You couldnt actually tow it like that, it must be raised up when on th road or it would get wrecked!

That caravan is awesome! But yeah I have considered the whole "slammed" scene but I dont see the fun in it. I like lowered cars and can appreciate people interest in it. Just like any other car scene

They probably do, but everyone has to have a car they particularly hate.

I've always thought the VW Beetle to be a great car, especially for a 1938 design. It proved very reliable, capable of great development and was, IIRC, the best selling car of all time.
It's potential for on-going development was as great as the Mini.
Drive one, as I have, with a slightly improved 1600 engine and disc brakes, together with improved damper settings and you will find it's not unlike an early Porsche 911.
The only downside might be its Nazi origins, if one is a student of 20th century history. It might not be politically correct to like something encouraged initially by Adolf Hitler.
However, it is still not a Mini - the ultimate and iconic classic car of all time IMHO.
