Next Gen Beetle?

Lots of talk this morning about Super Bowl commercials, they showed the VW one pimping the new Beetle.

Eeesh.....

Looks like a mazda

Looks like a Mazda with a mouthguard.

Seen the test mules running around. They don't look like that.

What is with the Herman Munster head?

I'll keep my '69

:patientlyawaitingClarkson'sGermanNazijokes:

And I thought the other one looked stupid.

Looks a lot like a rounded off Mini.

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

it's looking more and more like a german war helmet

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
