Volkswagen Beetle Barbie debuts in Mexico

We've brought you the Mitsubishi's Hello Kitty i, and now, in our never-ending quest to provide complete coverage of all children's-toy-themed automobiles, we present the Mexican-market Volkswagen Beetle Barbie. No battery-operated kiddie toy, mind you, the Beetle Barbie is a bona-fide VW New Beetle, finished in a retina-searing hot pink paint job decorated with strategically-placed Barbie logos. Detail fanatics take note: even the lug nuts are pink.

Inside, the theme continues, with pink accents and inserts finding their way onto the leather seats, door trim, floormats, and steering wheel. Only 13 will be built, and they'll be sold through specially-selected VW dealers. The price? 262,500 Mexican pesos ($24,368 USD / 19.012 €). No word on whether or not Ken will be seen riding shotgun.

The New Beetle has been out for almost 10 years. Even tough it was face lifted last year, I wander when it will get a completel makeover.

Thank God it is a toy. At first I thought VW had released a special edition model of this car. What an embarassement that would have been (the name).

Haha I once knew someone that had a bubble gum pink Beetle. She told me it was a factory paint job, I believed it at the time :P

Sorry Will,

As much as I adore this car, I just can't get over the pink wheel nuts. Talk about overkill.
