New Beetle coming soon

Post by Kev »

It's still got some disguise on but it's looking a bit better this time round. A bit less like a bubble car.

Mmm yeah it's got that slightly hunched look about it although it would be fair to wait for the final pics.

I saw a PT Convertible last night. eek!

VW bottled it and should have gone more aggressive look with the window and roof line

That's a concept from a while ago. They've obviously taken some cues from that. I think it'll look alright though.

I like the wheels on that beetle concept :-)

The "new" beetle above is pretty heavily disguised I think... rear arches look false and does all the front. I guess they have changed the roof line as it was so prohibitive on the current one for rear passengers. I almost bought one once... but the engines were so rubbish and the interior was plastic fantastic :-S I gave it a miss.

Hmm... reminds me of Porsche Panamera. Definitely not love at first sight, but I'm not ready say its hideous just yet.
