I've driven the 'new' beetle turbo thing and its actually pretty nice. I wouldn't pick up a girl for a date in that car but still kind of a novelty.
Yeah, I know what you mean...

On the track the Beetle was a blast! It had very neutral handling which is quite the opposite of what I expected. I expected to push through every corner (it had all season tires on it) but by turning the steering wheel hard and long before I needed the car to actually turn (I swear it took 5 minutes for the body roll to transfer the weight), it felt extremely nuetral and stable.
