2011 New VW Beetle to be more 'Manly'

Well, here's my first VW only post! A friend of mine is a BIG VW fan, so this one's for you Griff!
There has been a leak in the new details of the next-generation Volkswagen Beetle. Car Magazine is said that the 2011 Vw Beetle was going to be divided into two versions. Presently, however, the German carmaker has chosen on a new route. Initially, there would be a couple of Beetles; a diminutive scarcely large enough for a family, patterned on the 2007 Vw Up! model, and a larger version founded on the Golf.
Currently, the automotive group will create the production up! a front-engined vehicle, which means the new Beetle should debut in early 2010 as an altogether separate vehicle. And the distinctly feminine curves will be absent from the next Beetle. Plans call for a more belligerent and manly appearance, which could spell disaster if it pushes the present buyer base away from the car and does not get attention from new buyers.Rather, the car is thought to appear a bit more like the Vw Ragster model from the 2005 Detroit Auto Show. This means that a flat-roofed four-seater, with a hatchback and steep angles should be anticipated. Of course, there are still many versions down the range, as VW is contemplating the conversion of the Beetle into a new brand. Anticipate expanded engine selections, and enhanced drivability with the fresh Beetle.
