I know the general design is similar. The point is that I prefer the way the old one is designed. That part is a preference. And sorry, but the placement of the engine does affect the way it looks. In fact, it affects the one major gripe about the way it looks. The front end of the old bug was longer than the new because the engine was in the rear. Now that it's in the front, the car looks like a turtle, not a beetle.

And if safety isn't important to you, why'd you point it out?

by the way, I too thought the old ragtops looked pretty sweet. When are they making a convertable "new bug"?
