Especially the rear view......they are going for a more masculine look imho......wonder if the cabrio will still look like a pram though!

Never really been my cup of tea, but I agree the latest version does look a lot sharper.

The above photo comes from an article on the Daily Mail website, which also includes the following photo and caption:

Popular: Red and blue Beetles drive together through London streets in 1973 at around the time that the popularity of the car had peaked

I'm bored with car companies just recycling designs, and the Beetle/911 Beetle especially.

Dull, dull, dull.

I really, really don't see the attraction at all of the entire Porsche range.

*nasal voice* 'yes, well they are some of the most technically perfect cars ever created'. That maybe true but you have to look at the monstrosity before you get in!

I see an entire squadron of pigs flying round in the shape of a new 911 prototype without the beetle looks.....

Don't get me wrong, I would have another Boxster or a 911 in a heartbeat, but are they so bereft of new ideas that they have to use a design based on a car over 75 years old?

Only 34 and you owned a C class? Do you smoke a pipe and keep a trilby on the parcel shelf?

No offense but I´d ask your son before you buy it. Iḿ not convinced itś a car for a young male.
