| Road Test |
The 2008 Volkswagen New Beetle coupe and convertible have been on the market for a decade in largely the same form. Based on a previous generation of the Volkswagen Golf/Rabbit, the New Beetle coupe and convertible were updated in 2006 in a very subtle way. While the bubbly shape remains instantly recognizable--and the interior as well trimmed as ever--the New Beetle is showing its age, particularly under the skin.
