Rumours: Next Volkswagen Beetle to Be More Modern, Less Retro
Posted by admin on Tuesday, February 20 @ 14:39:20 (4001 reads)
Topic Heard a rumour lately?

 The New Beetle is single=handedly responsible for Volkswagen's comeback in the late 90s, yet is the only model that receives the least attention by Volkswagen. The New Beetle has remained the same for almost ten years, thirteen years of you count the Concept 1 unveiled in the 1994 North American International Auto Show in Detroit. Heck, it took Volkswagen eight years just to give it a slight refresh. And if you think about it, the New Beetle does pose a dilemma for Volkswagen. How can you redesign an iconic design? writes The VW Gazette

 Some say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but we at .net Towers think this example is taking the biscuit somewhat and comes under the banner of 'copyright theft'.

Review of 2.5 Beetle
Posted by admin on Monday, February 12 @ 13:16:10 (4047 reads)
Topic The latest news

 Even though the New Beetle has been around for several years now, it still brings a smile to people’s faces, writes paddocktalk.com, whenever you drive by. Older people seem to have the same fondness for the Beetle that gear heads have for the Mustang or the Charger. After picking up the New Beetle, I had to stop by my mother-in-laws and later her friends’ house, to pick something up, and you should have seen the big smiles on their faces! Memories of jamming 11 people (2 adults and 9 kids) into a 1960’s “Bug” came rushing back – aah the days when safety only applied to some quack by the name of Ralph Nader! (Oddly enough this is still legal in Ontario, Canada. As long as all the seatbelts are being used, you can wedge as many people into a car as is humanly possible).

 In a word, the New Beetle is cute writes Car and Driver. Okay, the Turbo is reasonably fun, and the not-for-US-sale RSi was a hairy-enough beast that the flower vase could have been replaced with a holster, but this erases all of it. The lug nuts are pink.

Weeks, and even for months now, we’ve been talking about this, and finally, we’ve done it.
On Saturday 27th and Sunday 28th of May 2006, Belgium is glad to welcome the Volkswagen New Beetle with open arms.
The meeting takes place in Sint-Katelijne-Waver, a city near Mechelen.
I can imagine that for most of you, that doesn’t ring a bell, so I hope this little map can give you an idea where the meeting is.
