Why do we not get these here in the states?

I think this is kinda cool.

It kinda does, yeah.

It seems to have quite a gap between the tire and fender, plus alot of ground clearance. Well, if I could speak or read Spanish it would prolly help. Then again, it may be an optical illusion. Still it looks cool.

Dang, why can I not find a VW Mexico Media Services webpage!?!

[KatieBug27]

that is too cool! if we got bad ass bugs like that here there would be a lot more beetle enthusiasts

[digitalputty]

OMG! Black with Salsa red interior and mirrors. :O DANG! :O That would be sezah.

So I was in the big city(Mazatlan, Mexico) lastnight and as I was driving home from the movie cinema I cruised by the stealership and I noticed a Red Hot Wheels Edition NB

"sorry about the crappy cell phone pics"
Couldn't resist

[katwalk]

ahhahaaaaahaha
I'm so dumb
I was sitting here thinking "wow that's a lot of detail for a toy car!"
Dummy, its a real one D:

[Beetlemania]

Are the interiors different, too? Cool stuff!

[Crazy_MoFo]

I didn't really check out the full interior but the seats are the same colors as in the blue one.

[CoriBug]

Jerry O would like those Bugs!

I like the styling of it. But it looks like you would have to drop it 2-3" just to sit at normal height, or else they are trying leaning towards making it more for off-road.

Dude, they're bringing back the take5's??? Nice!
I like the spoiler too. Hot wheels logos in the seats are nicely done, but the theme isn't for me. Cool idea though!!

I'm thinking it's high like that because of the speedbumps, they're huge! out here in Mexico, and they use them on the roads and highways. They're everywhere!! My mudflaps always hit the speedbumps, the front ones are wearing out

[Deserion]

Fail.

I wouldn't be caught dead in a Hot Wheels NB.

Me neither, but there have been several special editions that I wouldn't even want to be near... Barbie Edition, anyone?

Although, I do think it's somewhat cool that VW is trying to hold on to the enthusiasm for the Beetle.

[USSVWBEETLE]

that is the greatest looking New Beetle i've seen in a long time. I would love to get a hold of one of those.
