Yep, looks like someone squashed down on the roof and flattened it out lengthwise.

But, kudos to them for still offering a diesel and MANUAL trannys! From what I've heard of VW auto trannies, including the DSG, you're best off not even considering them - as in rivaling a 20 year old MB for the amount of attention and money required to keep them working properly.

Just hope they can make the interior pieces a little more durable this time around, and not have cup holders and mirror switches breaking off. Oh, and enough room to actually work on the engine without pulling it from the car, or be able to change bulbs on the headlights without doing the same, would be nice as well.

But, IMHO, raspberries for jumping on the hypebrid bandwagon. Whereinhell are you going to put enough batteries to do anything on a BEETLE? And I wanna see that gas engine that's got a supercharger AND turbocharger both installed on it - OK, I realize that's probably a typo due to limited space in the article, that they meant you could get it EITHER turbocharged or supercharged - or the person that edited the article was just totally clueless.
