Default New 2012 beetle

So, has anyone seen the new redesigned beetle? I have to give VW credit on this one. They wanted to make it more sporty and appealing to men. I think they did a pretty good job. I like how this turbo one sounds.
Heres a tour of the new one. What's everyone else think? Would you drive one?

Agreed, feels wierd to admit it but i've liked them ever since they hit my local dealer. Look 1000x better than the last beetles.

Hi `Keane,
Great Link & Review of the new Beetle..VW did a great job on their reDesign & improvements. It's a neat little package, but with the options I'd like it would be over $30K +

I also like the new 2012 Porsche 911 Black Edition

===========================
Thanks `Keane for posting/sharing so that our Member's know what's out there

Yeah, there was a thread earlier: https://montecarloforum.com/forum/of...d-debut-27610/

I still like it. I haven't seen one in person yet though.
