2011 New Beetle – Less Bug Than Before?
Spy Shots of the 2011 Beetle have filled the internet since late last year. And with the release of VW’s Up! concept it seems the Beetle will not look very Bug like for much longer. Judging from these concept drawings (below) the New Beetle will remain with the front end look it’s had since 1950 – but the rest will be redesigned.
Both hard-top and rag-top conversions have been spied, so all those cabrio fans out there will be able to ride top-down to the beach every summer. VW has confirmed it will import a version of the sixth-generation Golf as well, built on the same frame, with a price tag of $15,000. Also headed to fan in 2011 – a hybrid Beetle!
No official price yet for the 2011 Beetles – but at least they’ll keep a dashboard vase in every model.
This is kind of upsetting, though the Bug isn’t my favorite Volkswagen it’s sad to see that they are abandoning the design that most people identify Volkswagen’s by.
Hello,
The ragster seems to be actually for me the better way for the futur new beetle.

I’m actually happy to see the beetle revamped again. The 1999-2010 Beetle became bloated and expensive, that had only a vague connection to the original, simply engineered, easy to work on, inexpensive vehicle that the world fell in love with. I’m looking forward to a competitively priced small, hip, vehicle that’ll get more people switching to VW instead of the low priced Kias and ever terrible Scions. GO VEEDUB!
I hate what they are doing to the beetle i have loved this car since i was 10!!! i’m a proud owner of a 2010 beetle luv my car and don’t want any other car. Now they can’t say “Will we ever kill the beetle” they just did if they make this ugly thing the new beetle!!! they shouldn’t care if guys don’t buy this car i’ll seen lots of guy driving beetles on the street it just a reason to kill is pretty car
you are destroying the unique saling point and image of beetle…The new design destroy the old beetle where you can barely call it the new 2011 beetle..this is so upsetting
