Horrible, just not a nice looking car, but thats just my opinion.
love it
Not a fan. But they have improved on the dash and interior a hell of a lot.

I don't mind it. Some parts don't look as good as the NB, but other parts look better. Seems like it will be a bit more practical - the NB was useable, but did lack in a few areas.

love it! look for the turbo reviews.
I am sick of ABS, SRS, AFM, SIDI, ECU, PIM, BCM, Electronic sensors & actuators, scan tools, fault codes, programing, flashing, syncing, Drive by wire, tract🤪ion & stability control, AARRHHH!!! Just give me Air cooled, VW's.. Simple.
i love it!!

Regardless of what it looks like (and I'm not a fan) I wish they would call it something else. It just doesn't have anything much in common with the "real" beetle.
Hi
I wonder if you still sit metre away from the windscreen like on the previous models?
So what do you call the current new Beetle when these are released? New old Beetle or old new Beetle? Will this Beetle be called the new new Beetle?
Steve
ITS GOING TO BE CALLED THE 2012 BEETLE I believe....
could have called it the new mexican beetle but I don't think they will.... lol

I like the looks, although I think it would look better with older style headlights like the 60's Beetle or 911.
I dont like the front wheel drive factor.
Would I have one, Yes!

I thought rebuilding a VW would be cheap - Shit I was wrong, just don't let the wife know !!!!

I'm with you Cam! Exactly what I was thinking- as a stand alone car I don't mind it, the upgraded lights are nice, however when you make a direct comparison to the original beetle it pails in comparison.

Everytime I look at it, it reminds me of a squished Continental
Or perhaps the continental is a stretched Bug?

Looks like they smashed the new beetle together with a pt cruiser to me. Unfortunately not a winning combo in my book.
the front reminds me of clowns

I always laughed at the irony, you could swing a cat and still not hit the windscreen in one yet a
real beetle you would slam your nose on the windscreen just turning up the stereo.
ahhh! why do all the cars these days have to have a goofy looking smile for a grill !!!!!!!!!!!
exactly! hence why i said it looks like a clown. sort of looks like the bridgestone gecko as well.

The current Pug and Mazda line up are shockers for it
It's like babies first tooth
I hate it .. I think they would sell a dam site more if they took the 60's shape beetle, leave the looks unchaged .. and threw all of todays tech into it.... WIN
No i'm not repainting it.
