Dark Teal nB?
So today while sitting at a stop light i saw a really pretty new beetle drive by! It was a dark teal in color - i've never seen that color before... does anyone know if it was stock and what it might be called? It drove by too fast for me to snap a picture - and i was so enchanted by the color i didn't notice if it was 98-05 or 06+ styling...

well looks like the current pic was taken with a cell phone. And the listing specifically calls it Riviera Blue. Soo...
 May not be the exact same car, but if anyone is interested...there is a Riviera Blue up for grabs! lol

I saw one on a used car lot like two days after I bought Jasper. I was a little bummed because I'd love to sport one of those, but I'm really happy with the one I have so I can't complain.
Otherwise I've never seen one on the road or anything like that.

There's one at a dealership here.. I looked at it when I was searching for mine about a month ago... it was in horrible condition though, inside and out just falling apart and body damage like crazy (where you could tell someone did a shoddy job of attempting to repair/cover it up). So needless to say, I ran far from that "dealership" haha... I did like the color though. Too bad.

Same thing here! When i was looking for titan, they had one JUST like those at the dealership, but it had a 1.8T and the autotragic 01m.
It was also in pretty rough shape too . If i bought Titan and then he fell apart afterwards after looking to be much better shape, i wonder how that one is holding out!And for what its worth, the place I bought Titan from sells a LOT of bugs in better shape now! He has 4 on the lot right now and 1 was pending when i made my car payment in cash today  . I was tempted to steal the trunk parcel shelf from one
