Thoughts ?
It's more agressive which i kinda like. Hint of scirroco about it.

Looks like a cross between a PT cruiser and a scirocco. My missus is going to want one....

 

[eoghanroe]

I like it. The more aggressive lines tie it in nicely with the rest of the current VW fleet.

 

[Oisin]

Looks great. Hopefully the more aggressive look will make the move away from being seen as a girly car.

200bhp from a 2lt TSI engine is a bit disappointing when you think 5 or 6 years ago they were getting 180bhp from a 1.4TSI.

GTI engine? Disappointing? The 1.4 TSI (170bhp) isn't a patch on a 2.0 TFSI, or even a 2.0 TDI for that matter.

It had me thinking about the original beetles engines, smaller and more about A to B than big power figures. Its a shame their not making an engine smaller than a 2lt. Doesnt the 1.4TSI make 178bhp? I rounded it to 180. Is this beetle getting a TFSI or TSI?

Either way, Id drive one. Hopefully they wont change the styling too much when it comes to getting built.

the 2.0 TSI power delivery is lovely. Don't think you can compare it to the 1.4tsi delivery at all.

At least they got rid of the flower vase ...

looks good , longer than the old model , very like the interior of the scirocco

 

[Tony D]

I really like the look of it and with the 2.0TFSI it will be blast

 

[tommy1980]

did see this thread so i posted it in general car chat but it has a bit of a ferrari pan america crossed with a pt cruiser arse to it but like the interior alot

 

[A.Zdriver]

I love it.

 

[GSBellew]

The spy shot of the test mule that Alan aka vdubliner posted pictures of before was actually quite close to that.

Clicky

 

[i.slamdubs]

looks like its melting

 

[americanpaddy]

Love it! If only the cash were in hand I'd put my name down on the order book. I worked a lot on the first 'new' beetle - driving mules all over North America - makes me tired just to think of it again - hehehe

BTW - I don't see PT Cruiser in this design anywhere........but thats me...

the a pillar does it for me in the cruiser-a-like and maybe the nose-down stance

 

[kevinm]

I wonder if those gauges would fit a mk5 dash?

 

[eoghanroe]

Came across this on Facebook.

 

[neilc]

looks like a beetle to me.

 

[Mike]

Looks well. A bit of a "coupe" look about it (lower roof).
