    Specific to VW paint job called Harlequin. Looks terrible but is legit OEM paintjob and is super rare to see in the wild. If you saw one, consider yourself lucky. 10 times the luck if you saw one somewhere outside Germany.

    Looks terrible

    Agree to disagree, I think it's fun and whimsical. People take their cars too seriously nowadays.

    It kind of was peak car:

    • small (3,7 x 1,65m)
    • wasn't that expensive
    • no fancy electronic entertainment systems with subscriptions and problems. Just put in your System of a Down-CD and you're good!
    • Goes up to 150km/h, which is enough speed for everyone
    • Uses between 6 and 7 liters of gas. Which is better than your pickup truck
    • You can drive around with 5 people and transport more stuff than you think.

    I was curious what color would be used for the registration for these. Online it says that either the chassis/unibody determined the base color or they were registered as “multi-colored”.

    I for one would love to see more colorful cars on the market :)

    It would be nice if car manufacturers made fun, affordable, reliable cars again. Instead of monster trucks or high end luxury cars with paid electric limited performance packages.

    The driver's mobile phone:

    One of my teacher had a phone like that, but she drove a convertible 1995 Ford Mustang, and smoked using a cigarette holder.

    Not sure what is says about my school....

    Hello, I'd like to drive around in an unsolved Rubik's Cube please.

    Almost perfect - only thing missing is a set of Ronal Teddy rims, like on this Golf Harlekin.

    These were unironically great cars, would absolutely still drive today.

    I swear this was VW's equivalent to trying to cook with all the items in the fridge that are about to expire.
