Paul Tan on the Automotive Industry
Volkswagen development chief Ulrich Hackenberg says the next generation 2012 Volkswagen New Beetle would get a new design. He did not say how radically different the new design would be, but he pointed us to how the designers of Volkswagen’s Audi brand did the successor to the Audi TT, a modern car with an iconic shape.

will it be bulbous again?
have to wait and see for sure..hehe
this is like porsche saying the new 911 wd be radical….! its abt 98% looks the same,….!
2012? still long way to go…
is it going to be a hybrid version?
i can say the current beetle design sucks…!
i dun like d current beetle…boring look
Why release takes quite a long time, an earlier time would be better
oooo… my favourite is the new beetle… i wonder this new one will be my favourite or not?
skinny steering, off set pedal bias to the left (RHD), lowly shifter with pure metal linkages feel, unservoed brakes but ediquate,
but old beetle a piece of beauty and actually never feel outdated driving it,
and parts are brazilian cheap, feel like want to be back behind its wheel again
basically, the new audi TT looks almost similar to the old audi TT. i suppose that where the design of the new beetle will head towards.
when porsche says their car will be radical, they probably meant the way it delivers its performance, not its iconic 911 looks. it will be downright stupid of porsche to change the way it looks as thats what makes the 911 one of the best selling sports cars in the world. The customer is always right.
Aheeem, still beetle shape!
they shud design like how the new mini has been designed
no need lar…
exterior is ok ard , hehe
more deisgn for interior and add more function.
