Not impressed. First car I learned to drive was a 1970 Beetle and it was a part of the family. I loved that car.

This car, like the New Beetle before it, is not worthy to have the nameplate.

If they came with rear drive, flat four powered and affordable, with flat four turbo gas and diesel options ( hey Subaru has a flat four turbodiesel so it can't be that hard ) with styling that is closer to the original Beetle, it would sell out immediately. Why VAG could not look at the BMW Mini and the soon to be released Fiat 500 and beat them at their own game, I'll never know.

Send it back.
