i'm not sure how i feel about that. would need to see it unwrapped. i like the vintage feel of it, but i don't know how well it translates.

also, "bronze edition" is a little degrading, no? it's the third place runner up of colors.

Interesting. Not sure how I feel about it ... but, it would look super sexy with these Audi TT seats:

yeah i was thinking in order for this to work it would need some sort of unique interior but i think the baseball glove seats would be TOO much bronzy brown. i was picturing a buttery light yellow cream color, or a very dark brown.

That's true. The same seats in a nice light bronze.

I like it. Bronze works on a Vette, so why not on a Beetle?

I think these are some TT baseball seats that would work.

i think this may be the one and only time anyone ever in any way compares a corvette and a beetle, besides the fact they're both cars, lol

i'm still not really feeling it, although the black roof is interesting at least.

You know, the corvette and beetle coupes have a lot more trunk space than meets the eye... I think both also are rated at 29mpg highway too!

my beetle has less trunk space than my friend's TTR, we didn't think that was humanly possible.

a comment on vortex said it's not metallic, certainly looks like it in the pics but they've seen it in person. this may change my opinion. i need to see it in person i guess.
