Not a huge fan. However, the new Golf R is sicckkk. I might try to get one when they come over to America and get rid of my FJ.

The GR is dope as hell.

I guess I'm just surprised that I would ever find myself wanting a Beetle...

It's nice, I like it.
I see it as the love child of the classic Beetle, and a Carrera 911

Probably cause the 911 and the Beetle started out as the same car.

Just saw these being tested or something at Lebanon valley speedway in ny. had like 9 or 10 of them parked and some sort of track marked off by red cones. Thats all I could make out from the road but I'm sure they were the 12's

Yeah, that's the car I was referring to. It's awesome. If only the US spec one was the same as the Euro spec with the stiffer, lower suspension, and the Recaro seats.

the new bug is like a porsche and an audi squished together but that makes sense since it's a VW.

Perhaps because the 911 is a beetle with a spoiler.

well thats precisely not what they were trying to accomplish with the 2012's. I'm pretty sure they were trying to transform it into a more manly style because of its past being called a "women's car". I thought they did a decent job considering the older ones.
