		Phoenix, Arizona-- The Volkswagen New Beetle is in danger of being relegated to the same place in the American public's collective mind as Monica Lewinsky and Linda Tripp: still good for a moment's amusement now and then but otherwise rather irrelevant.
		The New Beetle will never again provoke the fervor it did four years ago, but the Turbo S and the New Beetle convertible, which arrives this fall, at least ought to recall the glory days of 1998.

		I LOVE IT!!, it is my second beetle i owned one while i was in college, it is a vehicle that is mechanically drastically different from normal passenger vehicles, most strikking is the air cooled engine as compared to a water cooled engine,and ofcourse the engine is in the rear.
		The rebirth of the beetle also caused a huge stir with the new models being a 2.0 litre petrol, water cooled or a 1.9 litre turbodiesel engine with 85 kw output as apposed to the original 1600 which has a miniscule output 32kw.
		The beetle simply put is the "peoples car", rugged, classic,nippy,conveniant and a never ending source of fun filled journeys.
