Yes.

But　it　was　an　unnerving　experience　while　it　lasted.

Because　after　we　introduce　our　completely　sensible　car,　people　ran　out　and　got　it　for　complete　frivolous　reasons.

The　first　people　bought　VWs　just　so　they　could　be　the　first　people　to　have　one.

And　a　lady　in　Illinois　had　one　because　it　looked　cute　beside　her　“real”　car.

However,　the　faddists　soon　found　out　that　the　bug　wasnt　an　expensive　$1574　toy,　but　a　cheap　$1574　car.

As　a　fad,　the　car　was　a　flop:

(When　you　drive　the　latest　fad　to　a　party,　and　find　2　more　fads　there　ahead　of　you,　it　catches　you　off　your　avant-garde.)

But　as　a　car,　the　VW　was　impressive.

If　you　had　to　go　someplace,　it　took　you.　Even　when　some　cars　wouldn‘t.　And　when　you　got　there,　you　could　park　it　in　places　where　other　cars　couldn’t.

Once　people　took　the　bugs　good　points　for　granted,　it　became　the　best-selling　car　model　in　history.

And　thats　when　the　VW　fad　ended.
