    It’s a good thing it has those large side vents to cool the Beetle’s notoriously massive racing brakes. Now you're being ridiculous. Those vents for the air cooled engine at the rear. Oh, wait a minute...

    That scoop may be ugly, but the tall beltline/DLO is all wrong for this car. The whole point of the Beetle was to have a small car with an airy cabin, not another Chrysler 300-wannabe. Big thumbs down to that rendering.
