Sure when you automatically hear that....you think of "gay" and slow. VW recently released a 180hp model thats turbocharged. It uses the same turbo charger in a A4 1.8t, also sharing the same turbo in an AUDI TT, yet lacking the intercooler. Although it looks ugly, its now a 6 speed, and flys.
So you decide....Would you like a fast car and be called gay, or the car that you have now, and say Im gay for mentioning the beetle.

I wouldn't buy a beetle no matter what engine....actually I wouldn't buy a VW at all...not because of any sexual overtones, but because they're overpriced and the warenty only goes 2 years.

I'd buy a Beetle if it had one of those monster truck conversions done to it. Imagine how bad ass a monster beetle would be, man that'd be cool...

I'd never buy the beetle, but the one he's talking about (dubbed, "The Beetle S") does have an impressive set up and is reasonably fast.
Too bad they're aiming the car at people like us, and we all think it's gay looking.

No shit, that's why he just said the one you're talking about is called the S...
Beetles are gay. Give me an Audi TT.

Anyway, from a guy perspective the car has good potential outta the box. But I'll be damned if I ever get a car that was engineered with a flower holder in the dash. |

As reckless and socially inappropriate as it may be; I'd like to see Detroit come out with something that has a nice, reliable place to hold my beer, or whiskey bottle as the case may be.

You can't compare a Beetle and Miata. With a Beetle, the gayness is a fact. With a Miata, it's a matter of opinion. And your opinion sucks.
In any case though, there's no way in hell I'd buy a Miata now. I'm sticking with the Mustang until I can afford an Audi TT or Honda S2000.

I've always thought it is pretty factual that Miatas are gay.
