I bought a New Beetle band-new in 2000. It was a perfectly competent little car and lived two full decades. I actually just rented one in Hawaii for two weeks last summer.
I bought a turbocharged one in late '99. I really liked how it drove. However, getting on a first name basis with the Service Advisor gave it a short life with me. I traded for a Honda after the two-year warranty. Amazing how the passenger compartment held together!
It's about it's image and marketing scheme, they all hate the beetle already for it's origin, as they have said on numerous occasions, so the new beetle that specifically caters to the original beetle nostalgia is even worse. They spent their life trashing both on top gear and the grand tour lol
Totally agree ... an entertaining series, but too much needless car damage.. And there's no way all the broken glass could have been cleared-up completely.
No. It's just part of the scenery now. Flowers are growing out of the doors and birds are nesting in the trunk. Not to mention the mushrooms growing near all of the detached parts.
i think it's beautiful to see old british lads come to a former british colony with a whole film crew to film themselves spreading trash in gorgeous natural environments
Your channel is one of the best on TH-cam! The quality of the videos, the presentation of information - everything is at the highest level. Thank you so much for your hard work!🍨🍺🐬
And the point of this was ......? That lovely car (better than the one I've got) could have been used by some local enterprise for the benefit of locals but instead these dimwits chucked it off a hill and wrecked it.
If the Beetle could talk, what would it say? 🤣
I HATE YOU! ALL OF YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*CLARKSOOOOON!!!*
It would say: "Please clean up every single bit of glass and plastic that I've lost on my way down."
I do not mind sending me down a cliff. But - it is a „broom“ Jezza, not a „brumm“.
SPEEEEEEED!
This was probably the best cliff accident in all 22 years.
Agreed. That beetle went full send. Like it wouldn’t stop.
@@chuckkfinnley Pretty sure it was edited some, but still very impressive.
Ichokwadi..( True ) 😊
That absolutely was!
The jaaaag is a close contender
What a terribly, random, and unavoidable accident.
I already miss these guys even though I'm constantly watching hours of their content lately
That actually held up remarkably well, better than expected.
Well they smashed 2 of them. But still.
@@MuitoDaora do elaborate 😜😅
That moment when the engine block says "Well, I'm out of here"... 😂😂
Imagine the cleanup of that hill? Insane
No way they are getting all the little glass shards.
So is the beetle not coming on then?
Wow Mr. Wilman was so generous to get them a Porsche, too bad it had that cliff accident
Porsche? That's a VW
@@redmr2na clearly that was a 911
@@mixswistyeah!
1:33 Hammonds acting is always hilarious 😆
Hope someone cleaned all of that up.
This trio!!! 🥰🙏🥰 james vacuuming his car while clarkson and hammond insult him 😂
Even the engine block was like "yeet, I'm out of here. I'd rather be in a golf"
And on that bombshell.
Back to the studio
This Beetle should've been yellow
Can't help but wonder the cost and length of time required to tidy that up.
1:33 The Perfect Road Trip 2 Reference!
How about we call this Show:
“Better Gear”
Just imagine if the “brum” handle had gotten trapped in the car?🤔
Poor pooch. 😂😂😂

We can always count on the valxwagon beetle to bring the trios together in their hatred for it.😂
"It's still going, isn't it"? I'll miss Grand Tour.
hehe! At least the broom handle, didn't get stuck inside the car...
"Oh no! Anyway..."

Clarkson also did this to his old Ferrari in The Perfect Road Trip 2 when he’s rallying against Richard Hammond.
That was not a real ferrari tho 💀
Still haven’t watched the second half of this special, it’s still not over for me.. yet 😅
Don't do it 😢
No, actually you must 🥲
No! Don't do it 😭
But you must 🥲
It'll be okay if you cry a bit. We all did.
And after all these years he still loathes the beetle
Have you got anything😅
I've got nothing😅😅😅😅😅😅😅 man that special was amazing
Doggo made the right choice. Hate a vase on wheels...
I will never understand their hatred for the "new" Beetle, after all it is nothing more than a rebodied Golf. . .and they love the Golf.
It's about it's image and marketing scheme, they all hate the beetle already for it's origin, as they have said on numerous occasions, so the new beetle that specifically caters to the original beetle nostalgia is even worse. They spent their life trashing both on top gear and the grand tour lol
Because it’s awfully hateful. Had an MK4 Golf and was bad, drove the New Bettle and it was worse
So that's how they make the compact versions of cars.
Even though this segment for sure is acting I still love it
Like the license plate, referring to Leonardo di caprio ! 😂
🤣🤣🤣 hilarious
One the funniest moments of the final episode 😂
“I’m free to flyyyyy” “Shark” “give this writer a job”
When I saw this scene for the first time I cannot stop laughing 😂 I will miss them..
Must have been a lot of work for the team to collect all the parts afterwards.
A genuine thing of beauty starts at 3:10.
That's the nicest thing anyone has ever done to a Beetle.
It’s great watching these clips 👏👏👏
Always watching from Georgetown Guyana south America 🇬🇾🇬🇾
This is the nastiest way to dump a car.
Somehow better than when Hammond and May pushed Clarkson’s Citroen campervan off a seaside cliff 😂
I can't believe Jeremy Clarkson is the Bug Harbor Butcher
This bit wound me up. There was no need for it. It was a perfectly nice car.
it's hateful garbage for hippies
Totally agree ... an entertaining series, but too much needless car damage.. And there's no way all the broken glass could have been cleared-up completely.
@@copaloadofthisAnd extra poor taste in a part of the world where that car could have been of huge use for someone.
This is like a 1 in a billion accident, truly unfortunate.
Also kind of explains the predicament Volkwagen's presently in..
Man’s best friend, harumph!
We Had as an Exchange Car Back in 2016 -17 a Brand New Beetle. It Was Claustrophobic From The Inside.
Only the real ones remember the “Ferrari” broom handle - incident in Italy
Hammond: loves Porsche 911
Clarkson: dislikes Porsche 911 and calls it VW Beetle
May: neutral on Porsche 911
All of them: HATE VW Beetle.
Absolutely rolled up😂😂😂
Sad, just sad.
What a terribly unfortunate series of accidental events
God this is hilarious! 🤣
What an epic crush 😅
It was better than other support car.😐
They murdered at least 2 red beetles for this, if you watch the cut you can tell. Wonder how many it really took
I didn't notice that. What time mark does it change?
and two dogs lol
I've never heard of a Volkswagen New Beetle. And it's my job to know.
It almost looks like you could still open the doors
*Anorak alert*
Funny considering Jeremy gave it a positive review on Old Top Gear and even (!) considered buying one!!
On the plus side & there's one... The airbags were deployed.
Sorry for being logical, but if the car is in gear, clutch fully depressed, how does it stay stationary on an incline ?
It would of done that anyway if Hammond drove it.
Loved this one ,😁🤠🖤❤️
Beamng Drive if it was real:
I agree…the original beetle is the goat
😂🤣🤪 . A classic Clarkson 🤬you 😂🤣😂🤣
Did they pick up all the parts ?
No. It's just part of the scenery now. Flowers are growing out of the doors and birds are nesting in the trunk. Not to mention the mushrooms growing near all of the detached parts.
One of the best parts XD

0:52 shoulda been a marina
Excellent 👌
Of all the things that could have happened 😂😂
Bah, no issue. A splash of paint, a bit of duct tape and a bit of applying the love of a sledge hammer and it'll be like new!
Brilliant!!.💥💥👍
If that was a Hilux, it would have started.
Proof that Hollywood movies lie to us, this 🚗 never exploded even after all of that
Im not one of the 'Climate Cult' but surely they must have a clean-up crew travelling with them😂
The climate just caused 100 billion dollars worth of damage tho. 💀
What is the logic in being for pollution if i may ask ?
First time in the show it wasn't who rolled over.
Lol....I love my green little bug....but to each their own....and remember don't pollute....take your garbage home with you.
Pure class 😂😂😂
Bout 17 flips/rolls!
Brilliant
oh no, how could this happen.
Good riddance to bad rubbish!
The only thing better would be if it was a caravan.
I'm actually against this. What a waste !
Some people can't afford a car like this one their whole life.
Bet that took awhile to clean up
needed a camera inside!!
Well they could have no there was not a way to save it
Who will clean all the garbage the car made?
Production crew? Lol
Wombles
Your mum
Do you think that they’re incapable of hiring a clean-up team just because they didn’t show it being cleaned up?
@@HappyHog11It would take days collecting every little piece.. No way anybody did that.
As 'unfortunate' as that was, someone could have used that car or the money used to buy said car instead of you yeeting it of a f@cking cliff!
Someone DID use that car, they used it for a scene in their show where they drive it off a cliff
u plan to sell?
Or are u plan to demolish it at the start from the fact u HATE that Beetle?
Nein! Nein! Nein! Nein!
