Volkswagen Beetle Limousine Offered for Sale
A limousine service on the East Coast is offering a custom 2001 Volkswagen Beetle converted to a limousine on eBay for a cool $45,000. The white limoBug offers custom lighting accents, wet bar, grey leather seating, mirrored roof and a top-shelf audio/video system as well as an unmistakable profile certain to draw attention wherever it goes. The sellers aren’t being forthcoming with details about the limoBug’s power plant, but a 2.0-liter, air-cooled, four-cylinder engine commonly powered 2001 Beetles. Unless the customization craftsmen expanded the limoBug’s engine compartment, and it appears that they did not, it could take a very long time for this luxury limousine transporting six to eight guests to reach highway speeds.

Japanese Limo Manufacturer Launches New Galue Limousine
Japanese limousine manufacturer Mitsuoka has just unveiled a new limo based on the Nissan Teana. This four-door limo has an unusual look and seems to borrow design elements from a wide range of other luxury automobiles. The grille strongly resembles a classic Rolls-Royce grille with its strong vertical lines and bold, slightly angled frame. The headlamp configuration also suggests the classic Rolls look with very similar shape and positioning. The rounded fenders evoke a larger, more generous version of Jaguar’s sensuous lines, and the sloped back and chrome highlights also suggest that designers borrowed liberally from both British luxury automakers.
