Default I might get my first New Beetle

There's a dealership near my house that has the coupe and convertible Final Edition and the Red Rock edition New Beetle but I need you guys' input on it. Which one should I get? I'm going in next week to check them out.

I voted for the hardtop final edition. I just can't get used to the red rock color. But it's your car, so you should get what YOU want. Let us know what you decide!

Admittedly, I think the coupe and convertible final editions are both awesome. I want one myself...
The Red Rock edition is interesting...it is nice. I think you'll definitely enjoy your new Beetle. A little jealous, I'd like a brand new Beetle.

I voted for the convertible, but I, too, am biased.

By the way, I just noticed your username and got really excited...are you a Michelle Branch fan??

My vote was for the Final Edition New Beetle Convertible - - I am a bit biased as well. The New Beetle Convertible is the best-built convertible that I have ever owned - - and I have owned a number ranging from a 1960 Studebaker Lark to 1965 Dodge Coronet 500, 1975 Pontiac Grandville, 1975 & 1984 Cadillac Eldorado, 1986 Mustang GT, and the 2007 NBC.

Yes, I am a Michelle Branch fan. I even met her once. I'm going in tomorrow to check out the Red Rock Edition Beetle because that's the one I like the most.

Eh, i say Red Rock is doo-doo brown.

For an investment, the red rock edition might hold it's value better as i'm sure everyone will be swarming for the final editions.

Maybe the video I took today will help you decide .. This is the one we voted for:

YouTube - Volkswagen Final Edition Beetle 2010

This isn't our car, my husband was at the dealer this morning and our salesman showed him the new car. He hasn't stopped talking about it, so we drove back and I took a video to show all of you. Hal loves the fog/driving lights on the lower front grill.

Here in AZ it is just too hot (110+) in the summer for the convertible, so coupe with a sunroof is perfect.

Have fun deciding.

Looks like they brought the fog lights back, I like that feature even though I don't have them myself, I love the Final Edition ones but also the Red Rock, good luck

Yes, the fog lights are there. Hal noticed that right away and the 18" wheels.

Convertibles are also higher maintenance. Sunshine and outdoor elements (tree sap, bird doo, mystery stains) will kill the top... garages are mandatory IMO.
