I was happy when they announced they were not going to make them. When VW America were asking the public, I even sent feedback to them that it was as ugly as a hatful of arseholes.

Good decision was made.

I like the concept, particularly the dual cab!!
Just needs a little design tweaking around the nose for me!
I think its got potential and its certainly different from anything else around!!

The concept was good, a retro kombi. The actuality however, was severly lacking. I'm with Yogie; I'm glad they chose not to produce it. It's a pathetic attempt to jump on the retro-wagen. I mean, it doesn't even look retro, just ugly.

Definately needed more work lol..they were getting closer with the cab...

Read in the paper it was decided not to produce it as they thought to many people wouldn't like the styling..(apart from US market)

Jen, The design plans and engineering have changed so much in the last few years for vans and people movers, that the drivers seat has to be behind the centre of the front wheel, therefore making it real hardto get a more realistic Kombi look....

N!

I dont mind the look of it , but if only they kept the trademark Kombi round front lights, then it would look cool.

The new beetle is sooooooooo not over priced !!!!!

I too, did think that once upon a time and it stopped me buying one for 3 years. I had my eye on them since 2000 but didn't get one until the cabrio came out in 2003 and believe me it is worth more than I paid for it. When compairing cabrios, the beetle wins hands on for value and features.

You pay for what you get for. You send the big money on a VW and get something that is rock solid or you can buy a cheapy Hyundai and get a crappy throw away car ?

phhh! cheap hyundai. My dad smashed into one of those in a round about in his old kingswood. he rear-ended it. Totally trashed the hyundai's back, and all he got on the front of his kingswood was a scatch. Those hyundai's are so cheap.

That's the point Chris ! They are meant to get young people into new cars, and when they either get some more money they upgrade, usually to a holden or ford and then when they grow up and get more sense they then upgrade to a euro car !

Hey 63splitty. Dont knock the P76 unless you owned one. I had the V8, and it was a great machine! Way a head of the ford and Holden of the time. And yeh, I think they look great also.

dude.... that is the point of modern cars these days... its called crumple zones... unfortunately it means that even small accidents there is usually a minimum of $2000 damage done.... older cars would walk away with scratches or bent bumper that could be hammered straight again... but a high speed accident in an older car usually meant death.
