VW has announced there will be a New "New Beetle" in 2 years.
I'll just be known as the Beetle.
Let's just hope it won't really look like this illustration.
A Bug should always look like a Bug...

How about a "New Karmann-Ghia"?
Rear engine or GTFO
Who cares.
It will be insanely unreliable and overpriced like ALL VWs.
If VW wants to produce this go right ahead, just dont call it a bug ! it looks more like a watered down corrado/scirocco .
I think it's safe to assume the next Beetle won't be that long legged. It still has to do sedan duty.
I think VW need to think of the original concept of the Beetle.
The Peoples car. Economical under 2000lb basic transportation.
So today it would be a 1500cc diesel 5 seater. 65 mpg with wind up windows and basic seats.
I've seen numerous sketches over the years and this is basically what I have seen. It's funny that this and the Rabbit, erm...GOLF are basically the same vehicle, but the beetle is usually thousands more, but somehow I see a 50/50 mix of both on the road.
I for one will never trust a VW, or any brand where a clutch STICKS TO THE FLOOR.
this is actually the new "June Bug" A scarab model will follow.
It's a good looking car - just not a Beetle..
