A friend of mine once referred to the woman he spent the night with as having “The same profile as a VW Beetle if you lay her on her back”. As of today, my large woman-loving friend, you can say that no more. You see, gone are the flower power ways of the NEW Beetle and VW has asserted this motion by dropping the "NEW" moniker from the title of the car. The new car looks as though the original Beetle had never died but instead has been hitting the gym for the past 70 years and at last emerged the mean Civic-fighting machine we all so dearly wished it were.
VW has announced today that there will be a 2.5-liter engine as well as a spritely 2.0 Turbo that will likely sell to the male driver oriented crowd. Car and Driver has also reported that a Beetle R will likely hit our shores in the future to join such peaches as the Golf R and Passat CC R. Should this happen, it is very likely that your MazdaSpeed will be shrinking away quickly in the rear view of VW Beetles across the country.
The car now looks aggressive with 19-inch alloys and a rear spoiler; this is not your little sisters high school car. Instead, the new car is both longer and wider allowing for a more performance foced ride. In addition, the lower vertical height adds to the menacing appearance, as the Beetle now looks hunkered down and purposeful. Ill have mine in Black please.

Considering this post is coming from a former subaru driver, i think this is a valid opinion.
