Volkswagen
Two doors good!
- The final Volkswagen Beetle has left the assembly line, and with it's discontinuation, consumers have lost another affordable two-door.
- There aren't many coupés remaining in the US market that sell for $35,000 and under, but I rounded up a few.
- Coupés are fun to drive and for the most part offer good versatility.

These days, it seems that sedans are a vanishing breed of automobile, what with automakers retiring them left and right due to the surging popularity of SUVs and pickup trucks.
But another genre of vehicle is also getting scarce: the el cheapo coupé.
There used to be a lot more two-doors in the market. Now, the space features sports cars, muscle cars, and supercars, but a dwindling supply of affordable coupés.
With the last VW Beetles having rolled off the assembly line in Mexico, there's one less inexpensive two-door to choose from.
But the species hasn't completely vanished. I rounded up some survivors, all priced $35,000 or less for the base versions.
