Perhaps the only Brazilian four-wheeled VW vehicle I like (the Amazonas is definitely nifty), and I love it, but it is not cool.
 
It's a lazy amalgamation of period cars, but it works better than it should and it has charm.

Well there's a car I haven't seen in years and had forgotten about. Of course it's cool, just look at it! Interior looks better made than anything VW in Germany were turning out at the time too.
 
The front shouldn't match up the rest of the car yet it works even better than it did on the old 412 and Brasilia. Magic mishmash.

Cool.
