  Well crap. 
  Yeah, I saw the New Beetle at the VW dealership that put my bus back 
together. It's not bad. 
  They said they were trying to make it more masculine. 
  That boggles my mind. How do you make a car masculine, short of slapping a 
set of ballz on it?

Those are designs that have been around for quite a while. VW has killed the 
projects as far as I know. I can tell you that tey cannot sell those designs in 
the U.S. because by our safety standards a driver can’t sit over or above the 
front axle. That’s why all the mini-vans have huge dash areas.  VW may change 
their minds tomorrow, they teased a new new beetle at the Super Bowl.

  Let's hope these designs stick without too much corporate dilution. It would 
create a new peak of interest in the old Type 2's that might raise the market 
value.
