New VW Beetle revealed - better but not great...

Not bad, certainly more masculine. I'd say that in black, you'd have 20% less chance of ridicule if you drove one...

Pity that the interior has lost any individuality at all though, it's exactly the same as the Eos/Scirocco etc.

Shame they aren't real photos. But if a production version looks like that then I'd say it'll be one if the best looking VW's in years. Certainly a thumbs up from me.

True they are 'shops, but they're VW's press photos.

It's being unveiled at Shanghai Motor Sow today, so real shots available later.

I actually think a Beetle 'R' in this guise would look rather good.
