^^ Nice 9,000th post. 
Beetle R looks great, and actually the Golf GTI is one of my favorite hatches of all time.
And the low price is specifically the reason of the Jetta why I don't like it. They're so focused on getting the price as low as they can so they can sell more, and they sacrifice quality to get there. Most reviews I've read said the car felt like a 16k car, and nothing more. I've also seen reports from various previous generation Jetta owners who picked up the new one, and said it was crap. And I know I'll see the Beetle everywhere. Just as you can't drive down the street without seeing a Jetta. BTW, yes I agree, the Beetle now is a hot looking car.

I'm on the same page, Pete. I'm cracking up over here and trying to resist posting a pic. It's so wrong though...

Yes a VW Beetle I think is COOL.
My range of cars apparently doesn't have to include the 99% unattainable for a good portion of the world. The drivers of the world don't drive Ferrari's and Porsche's. The drivers of the world drive real cars for real people.
I like ALL CARS
Well except Fords and Lambos but hey are they really cars?
Better yet tell me why it's not a good car? Well priced. Good gas mileage. Cool looking (obviously my opinion) The cars actually have resale value. VW is a great company and has been forever.
This car costs less than a GT3 Engine (by half)
My wife wants to get the oldest an A4. Good cars. Good looking. Most likely will cave because I like seeing my wife naked.
