Visually the 2cv is more interesting. If I had to live with it, beetle gets the nod.

oldtin nailed it.

Plus, however misguided it may be, I feel like I could make the Beetle drive significantly better with modifications less involved than putting the body on a different chassis. 2CV, not so sure...

Beetle without a doubt. The parts market for those is insane.

Gotta vote French again. The only way I'd want a Beetle would be as a 1970s kit car. The 2CV I'd be more than happy to own in its original skin.

Also, I hate The Beatles.

I think I will go 2CV again. It is just much more "strange" and I like that.

Egh... not really feeling either. As I said yesterday, the 2cv is too French and silly. The beetle is just a beetle. Still waiting on the ZAZ

My first two cars were beetles, so I'm sticking with it. Besides who ever saw a 2CV before they became...whatever they are.

Beetle. Enormous aftermarket and easier to live with on a daily basis.

Is that like crabs? Because if it is....

Gotta give it to the 2cv. Beetle is far too ordinary in this battle.

Birdy Nam Nam, Daft Punk, pretty much this entire Cracked article on duelling, and many, many totally bizarre but brilliant cars that could only have come from there.

Context clues tell me that none of those are things he likes.

Beetle. I could have so much fun with one trying to make it fast without killing myself. The 2CV would just be slow and French no matter what.

The Beetle wins fairly easily.
