Re: New Beetles are finally on the road. Like them?

i snapped these pics december 2nd:




I love the new car, and I love the retro wheels. I think its a classy looking car, especially compared to the last one.

I saw and sat in one at the Auto Show a few months back. It definitely looks better in photos, I didn't like it at all in person. The whole package just seemed, odd...

I don't know if I'd drive one (I would need to test drive, to be sure), but I do really like the looks of it. I wouldn't feel embarrased to be seen in one.

Huge improvement. Probably still not for me, but I would not want to off myself if I had to drive one.

Doesn't look that different to me, IE: still ****ty. And if you don't think that beetles are turds, then you've probably never worked on or driven one.

I like them more than the last generation.
Not sure if I'll still be sayng this in 10 years when the next one comes out.

Drove one.

Never worked on one.

Couldn't be worse than working under the hood of a T-Bird SC or a V8 4th gen, and they aren't turds.

I love the new look. I saw one in person two months or so ago and my jaw dropped. The "new beetle" looks pretty lame and girly, unlike the "new new beetle". If I could option out the turbo version for 20k I would be buying one, however such is not the case.

Still haven't seen one in person, but in pictures i think they look cool. Hopefully in another model year or two they upgrade the drive train options.
