Volkswagen New Beetle
Since its 1998 introduction, the New Beetle has received only a bare minimum of changes adding up to some new engines and minor styling tweaks. Despite its lengthy run, the New Beetle's age doesn't even compare to that of the original Bug. That car had a 35-year production run, selling outside of the U.S. as recently as 2003. An all-new replacement for the current model is expected by 2011, meaning the New Beetle will have had a thirteen-year life.
