I'd fire him too. That's no way to talk to a customer, especially and irate customer.

Meanwhile, is it just the picture, or does that look like the VW emblem from a new Beetle, plus and extra wide chrome strip on the frunk?

Not seen that before.

Given the Chilean flags in the background, this could be any model, from any era.

...or ALL of them! Shocked

He got fired for a reason. A) don't talk to a customer like that and B) if your gonna make fun of the car, why have a job at a dealership that sells it?

In 69 volkswagens Were not considered the mechanical joke they are now. So I don't get the joke.

Here's a thought:
The salesman made a joke, but the customer (didn't get it, was insulted, etc...).
Maybe the thought was- 'we are normal people, not privileged or elite, or snobby, like other German car owners!'.

Ya' know, just a thought....

I think it's excellent humor. And it's applicable today since nobody seems to know how to lighten up any more. These days, somebody would have gotten sued because the customer was teased with a laughing beetle toy as a child.
