Actually, as someone pointed out many, many posts ago, The current New Beetle's roofline is much MORE rounded than those of the original air-cooleds. Go to a VW show and look at a NB parked next to a classic air-cooled model. On the older car, the roofline is quite similar to the most popular speculation of the upcoming model. It just looks a bit strange with the rest of the NB's styling lines, (at least for now, until it grows on us.) I think it will look fine as long as it's not as flat as a Mini Cooper's roof.
