Did　you　notice　that　the　headlights　are　vertical　now　instead　of　leaning　back　a　bit?　That　doesnt　make　the　car　look　any　better.　But　it　makes　the　road　look　better　by　making　the　lights　a　little　brighter.

And　that　little　hump　in　the　back?　We　did　that　to　hold　the　license　plate　up　straight　so　the　police　can　read　it　better.　(Sorry.)　What　you　wont　notice　without　driving　the　new　model　are　the　big　improvements.

The　engine　has　been　enlarged　to　a　ferocious　53　horsepower.　That　only　adds　3　m.p.h.　to　the　top　speed.　Because　we　put　most　of　the　additional　power　where　it　would　make　the　engine　accelerate　faster,　turn　slower　and　last　even　longer.

Now　that　the　VW　is　getting　to　be　such　a　hot　car,　we　put　in　a　couple　of　things　to　slow　it　down.　Dual　brakes.

The　front　wheel　brakes　are　completely　independent　of　the　rear　wheel　brakes,　you　could　still　stop　the　back　of　the　car.　(Which　automatically　stops　the　front　of　the　car　too.)

The　new　VW　also　has　seat　belts,　back-up　lights　and　recessed　door　handles　as　standard　equipment.　In　fact,　this　year　we　made　so　many　changes　on　the　Volkswagen　that　we　thought　wed　better　make　one　more.

We　wrote　“Volkswagen”　on　the　back　of　the　car　to　be　sure　everybody　would　know　what　was.
