Want a 2012-14 Beetle

[nabeshin]

So I joined long ago to find out something for my sister's '01 Beetle and then didn't really visit or post again.

Now that the 2012 Beetle is out, I want one. I wanted one as soon as I saw the press release. Might be a year or two away. Very sharp car. I'll need a new daily driver soon since my MINI is getting up there in mileage and I'd like to retire it to weekend/special use.

I have been leaning towards Toffee Brown or Denim Blue, base base car, manual. I hope they keep these color options until I buy or add some new better ones. They can discontinue after I purchase, it would be nice to have a rare color.

Still need to test drive one, but the local dealer doesn't have any manuals on the lot yet. Automatic is not an option.
