Jay Leno seems to like the new Beetle. Now if they are getting it because it is cute thenn yeahh that's a bit different lol

I know this new Beetle is supposed to be a bit more masculine than the previous one... and the gauges above the Nav system/radio are nice, but I still think it's a chick car.

If I wanted a relatively inexpensive VW with decent gas mileage, I'd have to pick the GTI (21 city/31 hwy) over the Beetle, hands down.

If they drive like the last generation no thank you. Miserable little ride.

I'd rather my Abarth Fiat 500

GTI's are nice, not sure I could do a "hot hatch" though. I'd go for the GLI, sedan version.

I like VW's, friendly community just like the monte carlo has

I like the new deSign, but wish they were RWD or AWD.
I'd test drive one `if I got the chance, but I'm not ready to buy anything @ present....

I shall just continue my Auto Dreams & keep work'in

`Britt, let us know if you test drive one & what you think...

What model are your considering ?
