    Looks good. Is it just me or does anyone else see a resemblance to a foreshortened Porsche Panamera.

    Can't wait to see an APR-ed version! Interior is a big leap the previous one.

    Looks like it won't have independent rear suspention as it is based on the simpler USA jetta. Maybe that's why they do not mention suspention in the press release. No adaptive dampers probably either.

    Will probably have the solid axle in the states as per the Jetta but there's no way they'll get away with that in Europe - as per the Jetta.

    Really like the beetle and am already thinking of going for one mid next year. Only got my current car about three months ago so would be a bit soon haha. Is this the same engine as the golf 118 and polo gti?
