Beetle Juice

Remember the classic Volkswagen Beetle? I never owned one, myself (I always prefered the Mini, and still do, to be honest), but it's an iconic car, and gorgeous to boot. To refresh your memory, it looked like this:


Gorgeous, no?

Anyway, a few years back, Volkswagen came up with the luminescent idea to revamp their iconic Beetle. Okay, fair enough, if done right this could work out (just look at the New Mini). But it wasn't done right, not even close. They messed it up, and they messed it up bigtime. What they came up with was this:


Yeah, I know, hideous.

But, while browsing the web recently, I stumbled upon something rather interesting. It seems that Volkswagen finally understood that no one, in their right minds, would ever want to drive that New Beetle, so they updated it, slightly. Now, I don't know whether or not this version of the New Beetle will ever be taken into production (I certainly hope so), but even if not, it looks damn good! Lo and behold, the New Beetle Ragster:






Now that is one hell of a nice car.

But, rest assured, when my next birthday is due, I won't expect you to buy me one, I'm simply not that greedy. Deep down inside I'm a pretty good guy. Decent. Modest.

I want one of these:


Hear me roar!
