Volkswagen has cooked up yet another fun variation of its iconic New Beetle with the Ragster concept. With stripes that remind of "Herbie the Love Bug," the Ragster gives the cuddly car an aggressive appearance with a street-rod-style roof chop. Press a button on the steering wheel and the cloth top lowers back, leaving the arced roof structure intact. Slight changes to the front lamps add to the snarky appearance, with the headlights taking a more oval shape and the turn signals being wider and flatter. Redlined tires and massive 19-inch wheels give it a decidedly Hot Wheels appearance. More than an auto show toy, Volkswagen claims to be considering such a variant.

The style of the car is pretty much what makes it distinct from other cars. It's like how car aficionados are able to distinguish each car in a line of Corollas, or maybe Beetles, made in different years. For example, the classic VW has this Herbie, the Love Bug-look, just like what you've said.
