I am assuming this is the new 2012 Beetle, the new, more manly model. At first when I saw it in photos, I wasn't so sure I'd like its style.
But having seen one in the flesh a few times, it's not bad looking but the thing I've also noted, to my dismay is how the sight lines have gotten worse with slit style windows and an unusually high belt line. It's so common now as you see this on so many cars that electronic gadgets are required to assist you in backing up or seeing who's on your sides.
That's one thing I like about my Mazda Protege5, I can SEE out of it in all directions. :-)
