Looks pretty nice, certainly a bit more manly than the current car.

Looks much better than the old one :smiley:
-
Get rid of those step plate things, add nicer wheels and a decent drop that'd look really good :cool:
-
Was watching this on Twitter.
Looks really well designed, a little like a bubbly Scirocco or a baby Panamera.

I was going to say it reminded me of the love child from a New Scirocco and the Old New Beetle
-
However much I hated the old one, I hate this one more.
Principly because of the interior. The design team seem to have not bothered at all and just dumped a generic interior in it.
Full of FAIL.

Correct for you.

That looks alot nicer than the older one.

I prefer the 'old' new Beetle :P
-
Pretty nice :cool: Looks like a Porka and 'New Old' Bug's love child.
I'd be happier driving this than the previous bug. Would have expected betterer MPG'z than 48 for motorway cruizing (assuming they've quoted in 40US MPGz and conversion from US to UK is accurate )

Much better :cool:

I would love the classic beetle. The current beetle is just wrong. :sick:
This one is not bad tbh! Better roof line etc (less girly)
-
Horney's one looks amazing.
I think some Mk1 GTI side stripes would finish that off brilliantly.
As well as a red stripe down the rubstrips instead of the chrome.
As DH said though, it could have done with having a few nods to the original in the interior.
-
the straight a pillar looks a lot better on the new one, but its still too laid back and not high enough to create the beetle look. f**k aerodynamics and eu safety!

Still much rather have my 64.

I like it, looks much cooler than the previous new beetle :cool:
-
Who is this car for?
The 0.00001% of people who fall into the "Scirocco too racy, Golf too mumsy" brigade?
Stop it, VW. And BMW too with your silly MINI ClubSportCountryBananaMan cars.
-
Looks a bit more like the original beetle than the previous, and thus looks a bit like a 911....
-
looks like a mk1 TT coupe on 4:3 instead of 16:9
-
Did I miss something? only 40mpg.... my wife's 308 does around 60mpg on a run...
I do quite like the shape of this though, better proportioned to the previous effort

exactly what i was thinking!!
the wife pointed it out the other day when she saw a pic of it on the net, shes got the current new beetle turbo, and yes its a girls car!! but hers is pretty quick how ever i do feel the need to be a passenger more than i do drive it lol..... new one looks alot meaner but there never going to transfer the image of the old aircooled original to a new water cooled modern safe car as much as they try, as cool and 'funky' as they are now and will be in the future they wont ever capture it properly till they start putting engines in the back and really go back to basics inside and have a flat screen lol....
none of which will happen, but its a vw , they will have a following regardless, and my mrs is happy with hers so im happy :)

I like it :wink:

Unfortunately all car companies are being forced down that route as DRLs are becoming a legal requirement on cars manufactured after a certain date coming up very soon.

Yeah it's becoming mandatory in Europe soon, if not mandatory already. Though to be fair it really helps visibility during the day and at night for those people who don't like using their headlights :rolleyes:
