Looks strangely like the original 'Touareg' derivative they used on the Dakar back in, must have been, 2002? It was called the 'Tarek' if memory serves.

Thats was a two wheel drive, 1.9 supercharged diesel, and yes, it went like stink.

But they decided they wanted soemthing more likely to win and hence the 4 wheel drive Race-Tourareg was born. And it's a cracker. It also has an off-roading heritage that stretches back to before Land Rover was born - surprisingly!

So, the new Baja gets my vote (unless it's based on anything related to the new beetle! IMV!).

cheers

They could have picked a far worse platform than the Golfs.. That Chassis is a very nice one.

Yep, and it's a very good car.

But, to my thinking, it's not in the spirit of the Beetle.

The Beetle was a cheap, low tech, mass producable car (Volkswagen = Peoples Car). The new Beetle however is a crass attempt to sell the Golf for even more money. It lacks the original ethos of the Beetle and spoils the practicality of the Golf. And the winner is.........?  :wink:

You can tell I'm an engineer!  :lol:

I applaud it as a concept.  Uses an established well-liked platform to create a useable, practical, modern, but silly car!

As a marketing exercise - spot on, bit like the BMW mini.  I don't want one, but if I had to have a Mini or a Beetle then I might be tempted by the modern cars! :wink:

I wouldn't have either... I'd take the 150bhp Diesel Golf :D

But I think VW did alright with the beetle, I'd take it over a Mini anyday...
