Copy or not, the original Beetle was most certainly inspired by the Tatra. One of the articles questioned whether the original Beetle could have successfully competed with the Tatra had it not had the misfortune to find itself behind the Iron Curtain after the Second World War.
Just looking at the Tatra, one would have to conclude that it was a cleaner aero design though I doubt there are actually wind tunnel data to confirm this conclusion.
