    I didn't realize that VW was offering the new Beetle droptop with a diesel engine. Pretty neat.

    Good review overall - and great photos! The car looks good.

    Loved the way my old '99 New Bettle handled, but reliability sucked a big one.

    Like the concept of better mpg's from desiel - but as of today $3.35 for gas vs $4.00 for desiel I see no benefit for a driver that likes a more casual approach to driving.

    I don't see a lot of negative press on the TDi vs the Prius... But... Cost per a mile tells the tale...
