Default 21st Century Beetle

I love the New look, but i'm a little irritated they ditched the Bud Vase, cause they want a more masculine demographic to buy the car. I'm a guy hetero even, and i own two beetles (2001) with bud vases.

now will a mini or a 2012 beetle be my next car. im leaning towards the diesel beetle if i do get one.

I like the last version better. I know VW is trying to get away from the 'cute' side of the Beetle, but I thought it served the car well and really fit. A 'butched up' Beetle just doesn't do it for me.

I like the new versions interior much better. I would never own the current Beetle but I wouldn't say no to this:

I love the new one! More manly! Scene some dumped with some rotiform wheels and it was pure sex.

If I remember correctly, the same guy designed both the late 90's new beelte and the first gen tt. They both had the bath-tub type design where the side sills are very high.
