    "New Beetle stays with its retro styling but has a flatter roof and a more upright windshield"




    -WCF

    The prototype's front bumper, rear bumper (modified) and taillights appear to be from the current Beetle.

    The more upright windshield and flatter roof actually gives it a more Beetle-like profile.


    Here are the latest spy shots of the next-generation Volkswagen Beetle doing some alpine testing in Europe.

    The design feature that jumps out the most on this next version of the retro-styled Beetle is the flattened roof which also seems to have squeezed the window lines too. The windscreen and A-pillar appear more upright than on the current model and previous reports have it that the next-generation Beetle will offer more interior space. The way the back end slopes down and the rear wheel arches bulge out is also more reminiscent of the classic Beetle than the revived one of the last decade.
