Sweet to dirty in 60 miles or less. Beautiful car, but the upkeep on the seats and top would be scary.

This Beetle is like one of those living rooms with the beautiful furniture that no one is allowed to go into except on Holidays!

I'm sure VW will realize their mistake with the white seats (even though they're fantastic!!!) when everyone starts complaing about how their jeans rubbed blue marks on them and what not... you know like when you buy new white shoes and new jeans... then you have new blue shoes...?

I'd like black seats in it, personally. Or the zebra seat covers as someone mentioned. That'd be great. I love, love, love the white Beetle.

I agree it is very nice, but should have a white top to be tripple white. I would not want to keep a white top clean though.

Amen to that! I singlehandedly keep the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser in business with my tan interior......the white just scares me!

Pretty though! I'd sure love to get my hands on those interior pieces.........they need painting!!

that car is my worst nightmare. it's oh-so-hot, but i am about the messiest person you'll ever meet and i assure you, even though i don't eat italian in my car, i'm sure i'd have spaghetti sauce on it in less than a week.

(i have a problem with white shirts and orange/red stains)

There's no apostrophe before an 's' when you're talking about the plural version of a word. "I took some neat photo's!" is NOT correct.

Mr. Clean's car is here!

You'd have to drive around in perfect Cali/Hilo weather, make sure no one in the car had ever stepped in dirt, touched any grimy surfaces, or even come in contact with anything found outside of a clean room. Driving in a bunny suit, anyone?

On a scarier note... I seem to recall the last time VW had a triple white beetle, it was the swan song for the model...

Being completely obsessive compulsive about my GREY interior, I think I couldnt handle white. And I would drive it daily

Hmm. Wonder how much new tops are... in white....
I would name it Bubbles.

I love it! I had a triple white 1983 Rabbit Convertible and REALLY wanted my New Beetle to be the same when I got it. Alas, no triple white in '04. I figured they were holding it for a limited edition package (a la Dark Flint and Chromaflair). But you all are right. It needs to have a white top.

I revisited this thread....and I wanted to give everybody an update on Lennon, my triple white.

I have found the hardest thing to keep clean is the boot cover, actually. I have solved my problem by storing it in a large garbage bag in the truck. It was getting destroyed back there without a cover. As for the seats, they're not that bad to keep clean. I have had my seat covers off for about a week now, and remarkably very few marks have appeared. This car is my daily driver and I drink coffee in it. I keep the armor all wipes in my trunk and I wipe them when I see a mark. As the seats are leatherette, the marks come off fairly easy.

Yes, I am more anal about this car than I was with the black interior, but its not really as bad as we all imagined it would be.

Ouch!!! I can't imagine black seats in a convertible white or not. Unfortunately, with the white, there aren't many colors that would look right.
