Thoughts on the new beetle?
It's probably already a topic which in my I just haven't noticed. But what's everyone's thoughts on the 2013 beetle. I checked it out the other
day and its a vast improvement over the last one.
Still nowhere near the original ofcourse, and for some reason the salesman I talked to thought that a steering wheel for my old one would cost $2000
Call stockers boring if you want, but VW sure sold a lot of them that way

Hate it. Won't be cool till the engines in the back and a flat four.
This is my Volkswagen, there are many like it, but this one is mine. Without me my Volkswagen is useless, without my Volkswagen, I am useless.

Yeah I like the new look. The dash is also a lot better.
I was lucky to play a part in the launch the other week in Brisbane. This time around Volkswagen are starting to see they have a history just like all
things that have become an icon.
They wanted to display where it all began and where they are with it now etc
Here is a sneak peek and you will read and see more about it later in motor magazines etc that attended the event.
Here is the truck collecting my beetle
And a shot from part of the display with all that are now icons.
I wish to thank them for all the care taken with the car while they had it.
It was a pleasure.  Big thumbs up.
And while my beetle was away I'm out enjoying the perks.

Looks nice and will go fast but too exspensive. They have forgotten their roots.

Some people have too much money and not enough brains, I'm showing my age now I know but I read most of that crap trying to figure out who Will I Am
is, then I see the Black Eye Peas bit, nuff said, stop reading, hit delete. 
I dream of a day when a chicken can cross a road without being asked for it's motive!

Not about will I am Donn, Its more the car that I was linking too.
But I know what you mean. I was watching the Graham Norton Show and it took me a fair while to work out who he was.
Mainly cause I don;t know much about the black eyed pees like you yound at heart folks.

I sat in the one in Ian Boettcher motors today and it was pretty good. When I first saw pictures of it I wasn't impressed but it has grown on me
over time and it was a lot better in the flesh than I expected.
If you could fit a towbar I would probably buy one.
