OMFG are you serious? That's the concept they have? It's horrible! What's with the split hood like the bonnet of the original Beetle, along with the flattened-out fenders?
I didn't even notice until recently that the 1998-2005 NBs were the only ones with side fenders that were rounded front to back as well as down the sides; from 2006-on, the fenders are squished flat on the sides. I finally noticed it the other day when comparing a new one to Sunflower (my 2000).
I was all gung ho about buying a factory-new NB in 2010 before VW butchered it ... I still want a 2nd NB (in silver), but I'll be buying a used, low mileage 2005 now.
Too bad, VW ... you messed with a good thing in the 70s, and you didn't learn your lesson ...
