haha, i just like the fact they brought the TDI back. As for the way it looks! well still a chic's car! Also i really dont understand why the f**k they would put 2T, 2.5V6 and TDI in this car and not the GTI! if wish i could have the GTI with TDI engine!

I thought the exact same thing. Far too Porsche-ish for my liking. Almost blasphemy (and the jury's still out on that one, actually).

to me, with a redesigned front end the beetle could actually be a pretty nice looking car. but that front end just kills it for me, I don't know about you guys but it looks like the car has a dumb/goofy grin.

other than that though, i actually think it overall looks pretty nice. that it looks porsche-ish and being another audi on the road are two pretty good things if you ask me. Yeah I didn't include heavy but then that's not the point i'm trying to make. But that front end... I can't get past it lol

Apologies to my Beetle owner friend, still looks like a girls car.
Old enough to know me limit, yet young enough to exceed it.
