Retro Take for 2012 New VW Beetle Design Study

Hmmph....I like it....
There's a lot of speculation going around about whether or not Volkswagen will introduce a second generation of the New Beetle. Either way, independent designers from all four-corners of the world are continuing to offer their take on how a 2012 New Beetle should look like.

This here design study for a New Beetle MkII was penned by our Brazilian friend Eduardo Oliveira, who you may remember from previous concepts like the 2012 Jetta, Hyundai i30 Sedan and Ford Thunderbird CC. Unlike David Cordoso's futuristic-looking proposal (see here) that we showed you back in May, Oliveira's design for the New/New Beetle is far more retro.

Out of all of the possible remakes this is the nicest I have seen of the 2012 Beetle. However, when will we know which rendition VW has gone with? Some of the others continue to miss the mark entirely and I am hoping that this one or similar will win out.

Needing to replace my beloved '99 beetle. This does look pretty good. Hope the interior is simple and retro too. Looks a little like they crossed an old beetle with a mini cooper.
