"No, you?re not asleep and having a bad dream; Universal Pictures has given the green light for the fourth installment of Fast and the Furious. After raking in $158 Million worldwide with Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, Universal resigned Chris Morgan to write the follow up to his F&F3. Not much is yet known about this production but what has been confirmed is that the script was purchased for $700,000 against $1.35 million, and that Stuber/Parent Prods. are producing. Rumors are abound that Vin Diesel is in negotiations to reprise his role of Dominic, which is just the beginning of all of the speculation going on about this film. But I have the inside track on some more details for you.

An inside source has revealed to me that the proposed plot is to once again revolve around the latest Drift craze and that this time Chris will pit American muscle against JDM drifters. Now all of this info is coming preproduction so changes obviously are possible, but the two main car stars are slated to be the latest Skyline R35 GTR and the new Camaro, which made its movie debut in the recent Transformers film. Leading the way for the roles to round out the American muscle cast are a carbon fiber wide body S197 Mustang and the latest Dodge Charger. Both vehicles, along with a VW Beetle (possibly to be driven by one of the lead actresses), have been outfitted with bodykits and other mods by American Car Products of Whittier CA and the body and paint to be customized by SW Customs of Asuza CA (626-339-4441)."

Of course it's gotta be pink, and driven by a girl

Tokyo Drift was my favorite of the series, by far. Too bad it's a damn pink NB. This doesn't help our image what-so-ever.

Beyond hideous.

Hmmm. I'm not a huge fan of painting cars pink but I do like that shade pictured. I'll keep my NB Reflex Silver though.

Don't recognise the front or rear bumpers. Need to say more pics

"My eyes! My eyes!"

Oh nooooes. Oh noooes.

While I'm excited that Vin Diesel..I mean a New Beetle might make an appearance, if they really wanted to maintain they're "sleeper" status by using a New Beetle...why not use a TurboS??

Pluck that 1.8 out and drop in a BT?? The NB TurboS looks good just as it is. Suuure, they could paint it a different color, (hopefully NOT PINK) but it'd be a little more effective NOO?

..and what's wrong with boys that drive a NB?


..oh and my .02:
I hate pink NB's. SOME pink is ok, I guess. But this (and other) NB's have just gone CRAZY w/ the Pink.

There was a New Beetle in 2 Fast 2 Furious. It was owned by an .orger in South Florida. I think the car was called Scarab, but I don't remember the guy's name. It was only in the movie for like 3 frames, in a scene where a lot of cars were escaping a warehouse getting busted by the popos. I never have seen more than a few minutes of any of the movies, but I did see this scene.

So there. It's been done. And driven by a dude, in a black Beetle. Hooray for chicking out our cars once again. What is this, Gadzooks!?! Maybe this is a last hoorah before the awesome facelift?
