Needs a nose restyle, but it looks cool to knock one out yourself. Not sure about a business though, I don't think even Berrin could make a go of buggy's as a viable business

I agree, to a point. Offer both the original Barris style, and an updated version.

Original Barris? any sort of infringement to be wary of?

Man thats hideous

This is awful too

To be honest, I never liked much of Barris' stuff, or VW based buggies, so its no surprise that these revolt me.

The allure is in their hideousness. Those "modern" ones look stupid to me.
