If it's any consolation, my late uncle once had a 60s Karman Ghia that was pink. Of course, it had the cartoon Pink Panther painted on the back, smoking a cigarette with a holder.

I'm still waiting for VW to produce a Hello Kitty™ New Beetle. :)

I would totally buy that if it weren't for the Barbie thing. And a hello kitty car would be amazing. But over my dead body am I going to advertise their anorexic doll on my car, feck off.

Heh, I kinda like it. Barbie was always sort of empowering if you looked at her the right way. She had a career or twenty and her own life apart from Ken. She had an unrealistic body, but to me she was never supposed to be a real person and she didn't look enough like me that I'd aspire to be her when I grew up.

i kinda want it...

Y'know what's scary? My nine-year-old cousin has one of these. In miniature.

I actually nicknamed my car The Barbie Car because it's a Malibu.

Luckily, though, it's neither pink nor stereotypically girly.

Yeah, sure, so a Beetle comes with a stem vase for the dashboard, big deal. That's not a Barbie car! Whereas I drive a Miata. Sure, it's white, not Barbie pink (well-known physics fact: white cars go faster), but on the other hand it's got a bumper sticker which, so I've been told, some people find kind of ambiguous. Fortunately I am such a model of male self-confidence that I can drive it without a trace of embarassment!

I like the Beetle as long as
