The laziest designers in the world work at VW/Audi/Porsche.
Also, that thing is ugly as sin. Flat roof on a Beetle? WTF?  |

You've been listening to Mr. Clarkson too much. I think the Porsche designers have a very hard job. Keeping the same design, fresh, and appealing to people for 50 years, can't be easy. They somehow manage to keep the 911 as a desirable design, while keeping it the same. |

Clarkson says it as an insult, but I think it's a good thing. The 356 and the original 1964 911 are beautiful cars. Changing that would be stupid.
Obviously they tried to change this new new beetle and it looks like ass. If they would have left it alone it would have been fine. |

| Since when do beetles have flat backs? It doesn't even look like a beetle anymore. |

Don't worry about it too much dude, Jon's already lost his bet as soon as anyone looks at the roof. Everywhere else it's exactly the same, but that roof... god.  |
