That is one of the ugliest vehicles I have ever seen. If that's growing up, then I'm certainly not going to.

I don't wanna grow up, I'm a Toys R Us kid...

i hate it. where is this beetle-esque-ness they are refering to? the beetle is round, this is a refridgerator box on wheels. i hate most of what VW is doing right now. they need to go back to their roots, small, light, economical, fun cars to drive...wait a second, isnt their another car that fits that bill???

the only thing i like about is the seating arrangements. thats kind of a cool feature

I think it looks unique. I'm hoping that the Abarth will come to the US in 2010 as they suspect it might...

If you think the VW above looks ugly from the side, you should see it from the back.

Funny, that's what i was thinking when i saw that shot too. But the Cube looks better. The front and rear tie together better.
