    Gen Next Beetle orders commence in UK

    Just got the latest e-newsletter from Carshowroom.com.au (Trading Post) and noticed there was an article on the New Beetle :

    See article here

    I'll cut to the most interesting part:

    "At launch, UK Volkswagen Beetle customers can select from two petrol engines – a 1.2-litre TSI with 142kW driving through a seven-speed DSG automatic, or a 1.4-litre TSI with 217kW driving through a six-speed manual transmission."

    Has VW replicated IRON MAN's Arc reactor !!??!

    I think they may have gotten their power conversions mixed up haha because doing it the wrong way on the 105hp/77kw one gave me 142ish haha
