Talk about a 'killer bee'. It looks really cool - IMO - and has great performance (per article). If I had the money, I would get one.

$40K for a bug? Not even a very fast one? Nah. It's cute and all, but...nah.

Basically a Volkswagen GTi with less interior space, for $15K more money.

hmm...that a hefty price for a beetle. I got a Manx between $1k-$3k as a fix'em up project. It's street legal yet still a dune buggy, goes a little under 90 mph if i push it, and is just gorgeous in my opinion. Both Beetle and Manx are having new editions to their amazing line of cars, but this is to much for a beetle-even if it's got nav.

black roof for a car ? - maybe in europe, but in oz that's going to cook the interior

I can almost buy a Boss 302 Mustang for that. Umm....no. Make it with the 245hp turbo-diesel, and take off about 15 grand, we'll talk.

There is no comparing the cuteness of the original beetle (picture) with the heavy-handed graphics and and placement of that overbearing black matting. No integration of anything on that nice newer body was probably considered. To buy a graphics abomination on any car at any price is a sin. Don't anybody fall for poor taste, please.

Com'on VW you did the beetle cheaper than this you can do the same for us-40,000 ain't gonna get it-give us back the beetle concept! You can give us the same looks and feel cheaper and you know it! They'll blow off the showroom floor then but not this way! Bring back the 66-67 beetle and dress it up you still go the dies!

for $40k it should come with awd and 300hp

no mention of mpg either...where's the "rest of the story"? where's the EV version?
