Not in USA...countless women driving Beetles everywhere. It has replaced the PT Cruiser as the choice for the girls it seems. Most of the folks over here could give a rat's @ss about diesel scandals. In fact the diesel folks like to boost their engines and roll coal - which means a giant cloud of black smoke pouring from the exhaust. You guys would probably freak if someone was doing that on SG streets (well at least the cops would I bet).
