here's a link from VWvortex.


IMO, they really nailed it with this one.
looks great, and especially with the 2.0tsi, should be a real performer too.

good job VW!

I think it looks really good, not for me, but it definitely looks cool and a lot more sporty and overall better looking than the existing beetles

"VW is Audi. Volkswagen-Audi Group (VAG) as it is traded on Nasdaq. And soon Porsche as well. They kept the iconic profile but thoroughly modernized it"

why all the nazi hate?

A Nazi SS man named werner von braun was the genius german rocket scientist who invented the v1 and v2 rocket.

After america more or less kidnapped him after ww2, Von Braun was put in charge of building a spaceship that brought humans to the moon and back, something he succeeded in doing.

the landing of humans on the moon was probably the greatest breakthrough that has ever occured in life on earth, let alone humanity. And Its all because of Von Braun. Without him our space program would be a joke.

Werner von braun is world famous and used to be extremely famous as a genius in the united states. but since then, forces that you could align these days with media sources such as the new york times have slowly erased him from childrens textbooks, because he was a nazi.

You all must have no idea.  The beetle has made cars what they are today.  It was the first car the average family could afford.  Hitler might have done a lot of bad things but he also had a lot of great ideas.  Also, the founder of Porsche helped design the first Volkswagens. Just FYI

german engineering is superior. i thing its related to hundreds of years of cuckoo clock making and watchmaking that has made engineering a common trait among germans but thats just my hypothesis. what isnt refutable tho is that germans truly better things, and this is partly what led tpo the world wars. germanies only real competition is japan, china in some ways, but japan in the long run. the koreas are crimeans are also a threat, but i think when it comes to mechanical physical technology german intellects are far above
