    I am impressed with it. I watched one of the promotional videos and was really impressed with how the back of the car looks. It feels like a modern, sleek design while at the same time retaining the classic beetle look and feel

    They just squished the top a bit so it looks a bit more like a 1st gen Audi TT. Drop in the Audi TT 2.0 turbo with quattro (AWD) and it might be a fun little winter car.

    I think the changes made will widen its appeal. I believe they sell approximately 50,000 a year in the US, maybe they will dluble or triple that.

    Yep, I was thinking that too. A bit TT’ish I do like the LED’s around the headlights like the R8..
