2012 Volkswagen Beetle: New, Retro, Tech-Laden

I like it a lot. I think this is one of the better redesigns of any vehicle I have seen in some time. I wouldn't desire to have one for myself but were my wife to have one, I'd drive it when necessary, no problem.

Not something I'd want parked in my garage but I think they did a good job of modernization without losing the Beetle feel.

I like the new redesign.

Oprah gave one to every person in her audience before she ended her show.

It may have some sales success if the reliability with this model improves also...

Not to bad. Looks better then the one now I think.

Looks okay, but I prefer my Beetles without radiators.

My wife had a 2000 Beetle GLS and it was a great little car for us at the time. We had over 135k miles on it when it was totaled in 2007.

If I were going to buy a new VW it would be a GTI hands down. It's hard to find a car that drives like a VW for the price of a VW. I suppose this newer new Beetle will grow on me over time. It sort of reminds me of a Super Beetle compared to a standard Beetle.

They definitely stole a little from the Audi TT family on this one. That was a good thing.
