Can anyone verify the Radio Disney contest to win a Herbie? I wasn't able to find anything with a little Googling. TomTheHand 12:14, July 13, 2005 (UTC)

Gah! Verified it just a few minutes after I posted this! TomTheHand 12:19, July 13, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Range of Emotions

It is just a suggestion maybe include Herbie's diffrent emotions and how he displays them, such as blinking his headlights. The emotions I have noticed are happy, sad, anger, and mischievous. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.88.105.47 (talk) 05:48, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] German Herbie movies

84.191.117.129 added a couple paragraphs about "A similar series of five movies starring a Volkswagen beetle" made in Germany. Does anyone have more information about this series? I'm quite interested in seeing it. Hotwheels53 16:59, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Trivia

Per WP:TRIV I have gotten rid of the Trivia section of this article and merged the facts from there into more relevant parts of the article, also creating two new lists ("Popular Culture" and "Toys and Collectibles"). If you have something to add to the article, please do not create a new Trivia section. Find a place in the article where it will fit. If you don't know where to put it, post here and someone can probably find a way to include it. HotWheels(53) ^Talk 16:06, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Dr. Gustav von Stumpfel

User:Blacklist removed a sentence that said Herbie was built by a "Dr. Gustav von Stumpfel" in 1963. The edit summary says: doubt it;. source required if put back in. That was stated in the 1997 remake of The Love Bug. However, that contradicts the original film and I don't think the remake should be considered (fully) canon. Any thoughts? HotWheels(53) ^Talk 02:09, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

I removed it because I've never seen the 1997 film. I personally don't view that film as canon (mainly since it contradicts a whole lot from the previous films from what I've read, plus it was made for Television), and as far as I know, the original point of Herbie was what Jim Douglas said in the first film, about a company making a million cars all the same, but one or two of them happen to be something special.

If it was to go somewhere, it should most likely go in under the Popular Culture Section with a link to the '97 film. Blacklist 05:43, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

That's about what I was thinking. I agree, if somebody really wants that to be in the article, I think it should go under Popular Culture or maybe a new section for the 1997 film, but since we've agreed that it isn't canon I think it would be better to leave it out. If you haven't seen it, you haven't missed much. It's interesting to me as a Herbie fan, but overall the movie is kinda bleh. ;) HotWheels(53) ^Talk 14:37, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
