Looks like a last gen that sat out in the sun too long and started to melt.

Looks more like a Beetle than the old New Beetle ever did.

I agree. The old New Beetle was more of a cartoonish caricature of the old Beetle. This one looks a little more like the originals and in its modern guise, almost looks a bit like a baby Panamera.

If you look at the hi-res pics, you can tell the front and rear valances actually appear to be covered. I doubt what we're seeing is what the valances actually look like.

Engines will include a 105bhp 1.2, a 160bhp 1.4 and a 210bhp 2.0. The US-bound 170bhp 2.5-litre five-cylinder engine is not destined for Europe. Diesels will include the new 105bhp 1.6 and a 140bhp 2.0 TDI.

A hybrid is also planned, with a similar drivetrain to that of the Jetta CC from this year’s Detroit show: a 150bhp turbocharged/supercharged 1.4 with a 27bhp electric motor.

Love it! The front fenders have a Porsche feel to them, too.

Yeah I don't think it's too bad. Certainly less "bubbly" than the current one...
