Hot News: VW New Beetle

Yes, Deadheads, there is an MkII New Beetle. It's being developed on the sixth-generation Golf platform and may appear as a 2011 model. And Volkswagen's strategy for the iconic retromobile may extend even to adapting the Beetle's distinctive style to a North American version of the Up! minicar.

First, Volkswagen of America has confirmed it will import a version of the sixth-generation Golf. We'll have two models. The "base" Golf becomes the Golf GT, indicating VW plans to go upmarket again and get out of the $15,000 entry-car business here, at least for models imported from Europe. VW also will import the MkVI GTI, with both versions headed here about 2010.

"Heck The VW Beetle alone disproves all of those statements."

TurboSpyder probably was saying about tuned VW Beatle - rear engined porsches , but they also disproves those statements .

Definitely a chick car by all means. Not to fond of the styling of that picture, looks more like a larger Lupo than anything.

Chick car would be a good business move.
