So, what's up with this supposed "radical New Beetle?" It seems as though this thread dissolved quickly. Does anybody have any more updated info regarding this rumor? VWoA couldn't help me, although the Rep I talked to seemed like the type who really didn't know what was going on. If there is any truth to it, we as a community of New Beetle fans should be very concerned. We need to object and loudly so, before something that looks like a GEO Metro is labeled a "Beetle." It's one thing to say, "I'll buy one now before the change," but what about 5-10-12 years from now, when you want a new one? I personally want the New Beetle line to last as long as the original Beetle; even longer! But it has to look like a Beetle. Does the fact that this discussion has idled mean that the initial rumors have been dismissed? If so, that would make my day. I was thrilled to find out a few weeks ago that VW would sell Beetles indefinitely as long as sales warrant production. Then those "sketches" from the California Design Team came out..............
