Talk:Giselle (The Love Bug)/@comment-31695540-20180812035148

I don’t mean to poop on the party, but I’m fairly certain that Giselle the Lancia is “killed” offscreen between Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo and Herbie Goes Bananas. In HGB, they new owners of Herbie ask if Herbie really won the Trans France race and the garage mechanic assures them so and says the following (credit: script-o-rama.com):

“He (Jim Douglas) say he would have won the Baja race too. But his girlfriend... did not make the curve. Herbie, he see it. He stop. He no finish the race.”

Diane Darcy does appear in the Herbie Love Bug TV series (episode 3) and makes references to events in Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo. Giselle does not appear and absolutely no mention of her is made. It is likely that Giselle was totaled in the accident but that Diane survived.
