I used to work on VW's in the 90's. I'm an air cooled trivia resource, practically.
The most interesting (VW) bug I ever experienced was when a guy brought an almost new Mexican beetle up from Tijuana one day for service. It was maybe 3 years old (1993 model). The car was slightly updated with a rabbit style interior and more modern steering wheel, but it was essentially a '68 swing axle type I beetle with electronic ignition.
Everything worked fine and it was tight and new, but the biggest single difference was how good the steering box was...all the antique beetles had a much more vague steering...plus not having seat springs coming up through the upholstery was a bonus too.
