StoplightAssassin Posted June 15, 2011 Author Share Posted June 15, 2011 so what's it doing in this thread? it's not exotic, tuner, or muscle???? how's that not a tuner car? anyways, it has the full gauntlet of goodies, but nothing serious yet power wise. it's essentially a GTI with a Beetle body. aftermarket parts are slowly coming out as with any new iteration of a model http://www.vwvortex.com/artman/publish/vortex_news/article_2929.shtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flashy! For real, the 2012 Beetle looks way better than the old ones. If only they went back to the roots and made it rear engine, rwd again. If they did that, it'd be awesome. Since they aren't, it's just another boring FWD box.

whitetiger Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 its crap. FWD and stock engine. its not even close to the level of the beetle RSi. When the project is finished, then maybe i will change my opinion, but as of now, a stock Lgt is more special than that thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fossil2k2 Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 The cross stitching on the seats and door cards is horrid, and tie piping on the floor mats, and center console could be left out too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately he weren't offered to drive it. And they are only going to make 77 of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SubLo Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 I've got mad man-love for Aston Martin.... no less than the next petrol obsessed testosterone filled gear head. But shit, it's so diluted now that they all pretty much look the same and are starting to have the same meh appeal. DB9, Vanquish, DBS, blaa blaa blaa... the luster is starting to wear a bit. One or the other, this one that one. I'll take any and call it a day at this point or look elsewhere for some other flavor of unique given the financing. ________________________________________________ [URL="http://legacygt.com/forums/vbpicgallery.php?do=view&g=1980"]'05 BSM OBXT Row-your-own, W.I.P. :rolleyes:[/URL] [URL="http://legacygt.com/forums/vbpicgallery.php?do=view&g=1242"]'06 Shrek B # 64 - The car the wife loved to hate :( Sold...[/URL] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
