[Lorinser]

For some reason, I think that the Beetle looks a lot like the Porsche 911. :blink:

Definitely not.  But Ferdinand Porsche did design the VW Buggie.

but the original and the New beetle are a LOT different styling wise.

VW should build this thing, and price it at about 50k. That's the way to sell all the Beetles.

I think few people would pay 50K for a Beetle.

Why not? I would. 500hp twin-turbo 2.8l V6, and 0-60 in 4.2 seconds, plus AWD. It's like a 911 Turbo at less than half the cost.

No offense, but if I drove one of those, I'd kick my own ass and save everyone else the trouble.

People don't like sleepers quite as much as you guys apparantly think, that is part of the reason the GTO was such a failure for MY2004.

[BMWDave]

Rims are off of a 993 Turbo, and i'm pretty sure that the red calipers are just Brembos.
