Great except for the fact that a VW beetle is NOT a compact car. Anyone ever measure a beetle? They're much larger than most people think and terribly space inefficient. .

Sorry, but the New Beetle is 161.1" long....13'-5". The wheelbase is 98.7". I'm pretty sure that this falls into the "compact" definition.

Yes, but the cartoon features an old beetle - I'm pretty sure they were larger.
