    Fender flares do not make this one awesome.

    I find myself liking this one, but not wanting one. I'd rather a Mini or a Speed3 for the same price.

    yeah, Im not necessarily turned off by the looks. all the negative front camber thats seen in the pics is <desireable tho. I know it rises with compression, but sheesh

    Is it rear-engined? Maybe the next, next generation beetle will be.

    Slight upgrade on exterior. But I want to know if they fixed the silly/stupid interior.

    Please, please ditch the berkeleying bud vase.

    the fenders kinda remind me of jag sedan or morgan aero, but yes, the WW2 german brain bucket also looks to have been an influence
