New Volkswagen Beetle Introduction The Volkswagen New Beetle isn't that new anymore, but still smart and stylish. And because it's a Volkswagen, it's refined. Der Beetle combines German engineering and performance with exceptional fit and finish, and it represents a good value. As in other retromobiles, however, driver and passengers must make some concessions for style. Interior ergonomics are not as good those in a more traditional car, like a Golf, nor is there a lot of trunk space. But the Beetle is charming. It comes in an assortment of bright, happy colors, including Tornado Red, brighter than last year's red. Its exterior and interior design details are fun and creative. On the road, the Beetle is smooth and sophisticated and handles well. The convertible adds to the fun with its ability to drop the top. It feels tight. Volkswagen engineered a solid chassis with none of the cowl shake common on most convertibles. The Beetle is considered a safe car. It earned top scores in the federal government's crash tests and comes with Volkswagen's excellent safety features. Just don't expect to see people looking, smiling and waving at you every time you come around a corner as much as they did when the New Beetle first hit the streets. After all, the Beetle is once again a familiar face in America. The 2005 Volkswagen New Beetle is available as a coupe or convertible. And it comes with an assortment of gasoline- and diesel-fueled four-cylinder engines. For 2005, the coupe is offered in GL ($16,570), GLS ($18,770), GLS 1.8T ($20,940), and GLS TDI-PD ($20,010).

A five-speed manual transmission comes standard on all models. For 2005, all models offer an optional six-speed automatic with Tiptronic. For 2005, Volkswagen introduces a new diesel engine available only in the GLS TDI-PD coupe.
