I like the new Beetles although I never had the desire to own any Beetle. I drove one on a trip to FL where they had them as rentals. I was a bit disappointed as ergonomically a few things didn't work for me. Although the Tutbo S. Does make me curious. It's too bad they didn't put the S package as an option on the convertible. A high powered, all black convertible might be enough to overcome the other thing.

What I am a bit po'd at VW about is I thought they were going to revive the Karmann Ghia. I guess technically with the Audi TT they did, but that was always my favorite proper VW.

New Beetles never really impressed me...they're a little too bulbous for my taste and I got a headache riding in the back seat of one. (..lack of headroom.) I was a big fan of classic MINIs though, so when the MINI came out I was sticken.

I agree with the rear seat headroom.

Thanks for all the feedback. This is the last post you will see from me.
Please, remember that NB folks love the MINI, too. Be nice to them.... :smile:
