In the case of Need For Speed, it depends on the game. Some games have Volkswagens, some don't. Volkswagens appeared in Need For Speed: The Run, from 2011, but not in Most Wanted or Rivals.
I had a pretty awesome Golf GTi in Most Wanted.

Assuming Ironhide comes out Dec/Jan as well, that'll make 3 red cars in the space of 3-4 months too. I know they're different cars, but don't they try and avoid stuff like that?

Why would they release a red bumblebee repaint and then release a red bumblebee repaint with a new head.

I hope this fails to sell well.
Keep in mind we've gone from getting one new release (including repaints) every 1-2 years to one release a month. Looking back over the last 2-3 years, Takara have milked every mound for repaints. It should be no surprise it is still happening. It will happen with the next mould. And the next. And the next. Prepare yourself now to avoid disappointment.
