Book Description
The fascinating story of Volkswagen's raging success and near collapse in America
After a wild ride of ups and downs for almost three decades, Volkswagen has regained its stature as one of America's most beloved auto makers. In Getting the Bugs Out, journalist and auto industry expert David Kiley tells the complete story of the rise, fall, and comeback of Volkswagen. Kiley traces the company's rise from Ferdinand Porsche's original design for the Beetle, through the Nazi era, and up to the Beetle's ascendancy during the flower-power 1960s. He explores the reasons for VW's downward spiral through the 1970s and 1980s, including the devastating management blunders that led to such failed efforts as the Rabbit, Dasher, Thing, and Scirocco, and equally catastrophic marketing initiatives, culminating in the notorious "Fahrfegnugen" series of ads. Finally, drawing upon his unique access to company insiders, Kiley tells the story of how Volkswagen achieved its phenomenal comeback beginning in the late 1990s through a combination of visionary management, cutting-edge product development, and brilliant marketing and advertising strategies.
David Kiley (Anne Arbor, MI), the Detroit Bureau Chief at USA Today, is a journalist with fifteen years of experience, ten of which have been devoted to covering the auto industry. He has written extensively for Adweek and Brandweek magazines.
Customer Reviews:
As a VW owner, this is a great insight ito the company.......2003-05-09
I'm a die hard VW loyalist now. So when I saw this book I had to see what it was all about. Incredible story! Very well written!
It was incredible to read about all the things that went on within and without the company, it helps to understand the car a lot better :) If you're at all interested in VW's or car company history in general, this is a must read.
A great read. As a VW driver it's great to learn the history.......2002-11-21
I'm an avid VW driver, and when I saw this book I had to read it. It's great! The VW story is incredible, I never would have guessed that there was so much interesting history there.
The references to the advertising brought back some good memories. I remember each ad and how great they were.
A dfinite must read!

So now we know...........2002-05-31
Geez, the management folks at VW are a bunch of arrogant bastards - much like the folks at Ford, GM and Daimler Chrysler. This book is a great history and a really interesting and enjoyable read.
A Fascinating and Interesting Read.......2002-05-10
This is a top of the line book. It takes the reader through the history of Volkswagon in America. It speaks of the successes and failures and takes the reader behind the scenes to see how the company was/is run. Due to the history of Volkswagon, the book is entertaining and hard to put down. Kiley does a wonderful job of telling the facts in an interesting way. At times though, it does focus a lot on advertising which is both interesting and tedious. Although it can be hard to keep all the dates and people straight throughout the book, the experience of reading the book is fantastic. This is a great book for those who know a lot about cars and for those who are just merely curious.

Book Description
For everyone who ever drove one, crammed into one, or plays Punch Buggy when one drives by, here comes "The Volkswagen Bug book." Filled with 200 photographs of everybody's favorite car, this book is a high-design trip back to when the Beetles cruised the highways, Flower Children roamed the streets, and Love and Bug were forever linked.
Author Dan Oullette combed the archives of the official Volkswagen museum in Wolfsburg, Germany, for the best historical photos. Back home, he collected photographs of remarkable, vintage VWs as well as some less-than-pristine-but-nevertheless-lovable models.
"The Volkswagen Bug Book" is filled with personal anecdotes, detailed history, and little-known facts about the car that zoomed into America's heart. For new Bug owners, there is a chapter devoted to Bug II.
Customer Reviews:
I really like this one!.......1999-08-31
I read about this in the New York Times and the LA Times, so I figured it was worth the buy. And it was! It's a very different approach to the Bug -- more about the people who buy it than the car itself. Ouellette is a great writer. somewhere between Gore Vidal and Garry Trudeau. A must for the Bug library.
A Literate Love Song to the Bug.......1999-07-08
Not since ancient Egyptians bowed down to scarabs has such a devout cult worshipped a bug -- the Volkswagen Beetle, that is. Under-powered, unglamorous, a complete oddity when it first arrived in the U.S., somehow the VW Bug won the hearts, minds, and automotive budgets of thousands, and eventually hundreds of thousands of Americans. In this delightful "family album" of a book, Dan Ouellette has captured, in apt, economical prose and a witty selection of pictures, all the rapture and counter-cultural fun that Bugs brought to life on the road. His book may be the best record yet of the car that shocked Detroit and changed the way we relate to the automobile. It's a timely reminder that the affection Bugophiles feel toward the cars they have (or used to have) is powerful enough to jump over the generations and embrace VW's new Beetle. Poster boy Che Guevera decorated countless college dorm rooms, but the Bug brought a real revolution to our garages. If you love cars, design, history -- or the Bug -- you'll want this book.
GREAT CAR ! GREAT BOOK!.......1999-05-11
OK, so I got an advance copy. I can't help it if I got it at a book convention. I couldn't resist. This is a wonderful book. There's not a spec or motor description to be found. This book is all about the love of the Bug. And the history. and the advertising. But most of all about the way people get attached to their Buglets and drive 'em forever. And everyone who drives one has a story. Even the people who don't drive them have a story. This book features incredible design and pictures that I, a bug lover, have never seen before. And for Beetle 2 nuts, there's plenty of attention paid to it. The author has one of each. I think that's hilarious. His writing style is even funnier. Bug somebody to buy it! I'm thinking of actually buying one to give to my dad for Father's Day. After all, he bought me my first bug and we repaired it together. He'll like this bit of Bug nostalgia.

AMAZING SERIES!! IS A MUST READ!.......2006-06-24
I got the entire series this past Christmas. I had read the first 2 because although my library had more, they didn't have all of them, and they didn't have the 3rd and I don't like to read things out of order so I was really sad. So then I was soo happy to find out they were being republished by Image Cascading!!!
So yea I read them all and they all rock!!! It's nice seeing what teenagers did back in the 50's. And it was also nice how different people's relationships were with their family's, I wish it were more like that today. And they are also way more responsible and mature then we are now. Making their own money, not having to depend on their parents for everything. And their parents respect and trust them more too! And they definatly treat their parents with much respect which is ALOT more then I can say about kids of today.
The first book is about Beany's older sister, Mary Fred. It is in MF's junior year of highschool, when Beany is in 8th grade. The rest of the books are all about Beany, in highschool, college, and then when she gets married. And let me just say I LOVE who she ends up with. They are SOOO cute!!!
Everyone should read these books they are amazing and are definatly one of my favorite books ever!

Simply a Delightful Little Book.......2005-04-13
Actress Jane Seymour and husband, actor James Keach, have created a wonderful series of books in which their family of cats stand-in for their own family, allowing them to share their experiences as parents and at the same time delighting children with the tales of their twin kittens, "This One and That One." In this marvelous little tale, the twins are joined by the latest member of the family, a little sister dubbed, "The Other One".
Watch as the kittens play Catboys and Kittens, eat ice cream, paint, play catch, and pull their newest little sister in a wagon. This would be charming book to give a new mom as it shows the loving relationship between a new baby and her older siblings who play with her but also take care of her by rocking and pulling her in a wagon. As with their other books in the series it is handsomely illustrated by Geoffrey Planer.
A very cute, little 16 page hardcover book with a dust jacket. Perfect for toddlers and pre-schoolers and anyone with a new addition to the family.
