:confused: I asked the manager at my VW dealer about the new look. He said it's gunna be completly changed. He said they haven't seen it yet but it's supposed to be totally different. They aren't getting rid of the new beetle but they are totally remodeling it. Kinda Scared!

If you get a chance, check out the June 2010 issue of Automobile. They have a sneak preview of 131 cars you'll want to drive. On page 74 they have a write up regarding the Beetle. The newly redesigned Beetle will be out late 2011 and there is a photograph of the car there as well....at first I liked it, but as I look at it further....they've removed the mystic of the original idea. The photo is not of something that has been photo shopped...but of the actual Beetle. VW is aiming this car to be more for the "masculine crowd." Not my words, but theirs. Looks more like a baby Porsche to me. They "could" have done some restyling, but left the original shape. Just my opinion.

I feel like a broken record.. Every image released so far of the "New New Beetle" are computer generated and none of them have originated from VW. These magazines everyone seems to be seeing "spy shots" in are the automotive equivalent of the National Enquirer. They make big bucks to make up stories out of basically nowhere.

I heard they teamed up with suburu and motor is going in the rear!!! I heard it looks like a roadster more then a beetle.. if im not mistaken they are calling it the new beetle II . i think i saw it in the VW line up when I was working at VW:)
