I love that rally polo.

Not a fan of the wheels on the beetle but those daytime running lights will look very nice.

I like the Polo with the R kit, that would be a nice R to have. Beetle looked good but still something about it I don't like

They're the only company I can think of who are doing DRLs well. Nice shape, nice brightness, not overdone like everyone elses.

why are they even attempting a beetle r...wasn't the rsi a bit of a pointless car also?

Just a concept at the moment...

and i guess they can really as theyre swimming in cash.  maybe there's something that grates with the previous beetle not being as huge a success as vw might have wished...unfinished business if you like.

I am still insure how they think less space in an already limited space car will sell for more.

Quite a lot of pre production driving around near me as I live 15 minutes from the factory and they look bloody awful.

The modern mini driver is also turning into the scurge of the roads.

The middle aged highlighted lets do lunch brigade driving around in Cooper S Works would be enough for me to take it out of EVO Magazines rating page! :signLOL:

The coupe is just an abortion....  :sick:

Is the Beetle not a VW for girls?

I've heard instead of the dash having a flower attachment, the Beetle R will have holder for the lady's dildo?!  :signLOL:

The new beetle has shed all the junk like 'the vase'!

Very nice it is now.

I am not sure the Beetle was intended for 'girls' but I know where your coming from.
