Chick Flick II: VW Celebrates Barbie's 50th Birthday with Pinked out Beetle Convertible
Just in case anyone had any objections that the New Beetle is squarely aimed towards the so-called "weaker sex", Volkswagen of America created a customized New Beetle Convertible in celebration of the Barbie doll's 50th Birthday.
