Sure does look like a TT.

I am surprised how big it is. It looks wider than the 2SS Camaro in this pic. I don't think it really is, but it's definitely much bigger than the last Beetle.

The question is......can it beat our Z's in a race?

no way. the Z seems faster to speeds than even my 2SS.
the only things the Beetle does better is it rides softer, is quieter, and gets better gas mileage

I think he was joking.

There's something about a German car that's shaped like a Nazi helmet that's not very appealing.

That's because you are a male. My female friends like it just fine

Yeah but my point is I got the vw for a dd and it's more practical (to me) than my 370z nismo

Hehe that's one of the reasons why I got the beetle. When my wrx gets here, the beetle will have to be parked outside and having a car that most guys dislike is exactly what I want
