As a child of the ‘70s, Herbie the Love Bug was part of my cultural upbringing. Disney’s plucky Volkswagen kind of gave every Beetle a little more personality. So when I recently got the chance to spend a week behind the wheel of a 2013 Beetle TDI convertible, I thought that sounded like a good deal. This latest iteration of the Beetle draws even more design cues from the original than the previous generation, and my persona could use an infusion of cuteness.
