All carnations of the beetle have kept one thing true and that's it's shape. Who in VW's R&D is ignorant to that fact.

now put another model name on that concept and it might sell, but not with the moniker beetle, new or otherwise.
Keep in mind, those drawings are NOT from VW. So don't think VW's R&D department is ignorant because some artist decided to draw some pictures of what they'd like the next New Beetle to look like and put them in Motor Trends.

VW isn't stupid.
