Main theme: Volkswagen announced this week that it is ending production of the Beetle, and we get nostalgic about our experiences with the original Bug. We also discuss VW's plans for the future, as we break down its newly announced all-electric I.D. lineup.
Driven this week: Hyundai Accent.
Viewer questions: How does the way we test the various categories of vehicles differ? What else can be done to make trucks lighter? What is a safe and reliable vehicle for a mom to drive around town for under $5,000?
