image and marketing.

>why did Volkswagen stop producing any good small 4x4s since the war.
what is the Volkswagen Thing for $500, Alex?
>inb4 not 4x4
neither was the Kubelwagen.

It's based on the bug. So in a way it did sell well after the war.

Because the people who victoriously returned home and wanted to buy a little memory of the war weren't German.

I was going to say something to the same effect, but yours is worded well enough.

not 4wd, jeep had better marketing, volkswagen focused on mass production of DDs not niche off-roading/farm equipment purposes
>and why did Volkswagen stop producing any good small 4x4s since the war?
they only made limited amounts of 4x4s during the war, normal 2wd kubelwagens were good enough and way cheaper to make

They didn't produce kubelwagens after the war. They only made 50k of them.

Because it was a fucking beetle with offroad tires, associated with the bad guys.

The Jeep was 4wd and was part of Victory.
