Because the Beetle is actually derived from a product of Nazi Germany and the Honda is not, perhaps?

What Jedidiah means is Hitler was directly involved in the design and the construction of the Volkswagen Type 1, which was renamed the Beetle after the war

For what it's worth, I've had a '71 Beetle, and let me tell you, they're just like the RX-7; the second happiest day of your life is the day you buy it. The happiest day of your life is the day you finally pawn it off on someone else.
My advice: Get a Willys Jeep instead. Same kind of vintage super simple engineering, American made, and same price range. Slightly better fuel mileage and more reliable, too.

a fair point, especially as the Japanese did more damage in one attack on U.S. soil than the Germans did in many attempts (though, of course, their U-boats sank a bunch of ships and killed many, but we're not exactly innocent there, either). The Germans, their allies, and the Russians did do a great deal of damage to the population as a whole, with millions executed through genocide, so if one considers both the domestic and international implications of the home countries' manufacturers, one is left with even fewer vehicular choices, especially modern ones, what with international development and manufacturing.
That said, the folks who fought in that war are mostly dead or very old, and certainly not building them. The money from buying a used vehicle from a private party doesn't go back to the manufacturer (unless it's a state-owned manufacturer and taxes from the exchange go to the state, but that's rare, cyclical, and not direct funding, precisely speaking).
With all that in mind, and having driven a few old Beetles, they're not that great, though they do have personality - just ask Jason or Raphael. The novelty wears off quickly, they're scary in even light suburban traffic, and not that economical. There are plenty of other options out there, antique, classic, and contemporary, and many other enthusiasts for a variety of models.
Do what your conscience is OK with, and be proud that you're able to be enthusiastic and passionate about something positive, especially if it means keeping something old and full of character running rather than buying yet another disposable appliance.

I remember reading that Honda did not want to support the Japanese war effort. True or not, they weren't big back during the war years.
If she drove a Mitsubishi (or maybe a Mazda) that would fit the bill.

Japan only assisted Germany in attacking the US, not in the killing 20 million jews.
At this point in history though, it's still silly to not buy a VW because dubya-dubya-two. At some point, you gotta let shit go.

In all fairness, Honda didn't exist until After the war (1946).
