Yeah it's from Wikipedia...
"According to the Channel4, Volkswagen is planning to launch the successor of new Beetle by 2011. Possible variants included two-seat Beetle roadster, SUV-type Beetle, and the standard hard top.
MotorTrend reported Volkswagen would build the next generation of Beetle based on Volkswagen Golf Mk6 and Volkswagen Scirocco platform. It would be styled in California and engineered in Germany. The cutesy bug-eye look, rounded shape, and bulbous roofline would be replaced by a more aggressive style with a sportier stance and coupe-style roof. The vehicle would be released in 2010 as 2011 model.
Car Magazine reported there would be two Beetles, with a smaller version based on the 2007 Volkswagen up! concept, and the bigger version based on the Volkswagen Golf. The exterior would be based on the Beetle Ragster concept."
Personally, I'm open to a little up dating. For example, I really like the ragster:
Being someone who loves the outdoors, an SUV/Car Beetle would have it's advantages... While the Dune is my personal choice, this other isn't too bad.

And finally, I'm not totally against a roadster. I hardly use my back seats, and would rather have the truck space, but for the love of God, don't make Beetles look like they have smiles...
