The beetle is getting long in the tooth and the sales have always been there. Any revisions? I remember hearing about a concept which was going to be midengined but I don't think that was going anywhere. Is it going to be based off a Golf?

Probably but sales were mostly because of nostalgia. They don't sell like the Jetta or Passat. I think the concept was deemed too complex.

About time they updated it.

I hope so. Sales are bad because they haven't updated the car in forever. Sales were good because people liked the car. If they updated it I think it would sell well again.

Hi All,

First post on here.....

I bought one of the first NBs (chassis #1858) way back in 98. I'd probably buy another if the styling was updated significantly (i.e. not just new rear lights) and especially if they made it handle better. It'd look lovely alongside my restored 54 oval Bug

Cheers
