The iconic Volkswagen Beetle, informally called the VW Bug is as well
known as any vehicle on the planet. The Beetle is the longest running
and most manufactured car of a single design platform in the world. This
week we’ll get a chance to test drive a 2013 Volkswagen Beetle Coupe
with a diesel powerplant. The diesel is not new to the Beetle as
Volkswagen prototyped the first one in 1951. But diesel technology has
come a long way and we’ll see how the 2.0-liter turbodiesel Beetle
performs in our week of driving.
