Not sure about the wheels either, or the front end (I like the grill, but am a fan of the Turbo S turn signals  ). |
I think they were going for an old skool look as there are many details reminiscent of the classic vw; I dont see how you can compare a beetle to a magnum; windows aren't for arms just to look out of and the occasional passerby admiring your car

Otherwise, nothing really ground breaking here, as the rumours insist.

look at the small details in the lights they are raised much like the classics and the choped window which flattens the roof line also the "pointey-ness" of the car. Its has the boxy, racing, look of the RSI and the chopped, muscle look of the Ragster concept
These are only artist renditions of what they think is possible for the new beetle, not VW, so I wouldn't get too upset over these nor to attached as they real new beetle 2 will most likely be very different from most artist renditions not put out by a VW designer that is working on the project.
