I, too, had no idea that VW was continuing to produce the old Beetle.

I loved the styling of the new Beetle until I actually sat in one. I’m guess I’m just used to a vehicle with a little more luxury than the Beetle. I thought the interior was chintzy.

I didn’t have any problem with the New Beetle’s interior. It seemed pretty typical to me. But I thought the Las Vegas light show on the Monsoon sound system was a bit overdone.

I like the interior of the old Beetle. Functional. No bells and whistles.
