New Beetle is launched!
« on: April 18, 2011, 01:29:48 pm »
What do you make of it? I think it looks great....but then I would, as a fan of the previous Beetles im slightly biased. Its nice to see they have brought it upto date with modern engines and gearboxes!

Not bad, wouldn't buy one though.

Although i do like the instruments on the dashboard in the center, nice!

2.0 TSI would be fun especially covered in stick-on flowers.  :wink:

Back end looks nice inside has rocco about it apart from the extra dash instruments, but I cant help thinking the front looks like a frog thats a sandwich short of a picnic with a vacant smile....

I also guess thats an American publicity material and the 2.5L isn't anything exciting......

That centre dash pod... with Oil Temp, Stopwatch, and Boost... I wonder if it will fit into the air vent location on the Mk5...?

I think the interior is very nice. The exterior I'm not so sure about however. It may grow on me though.

Those instruments, if they will transfer to my Rocco, will work very nicely indeed!
