If they really want to get guys in this car they are gonna have to give it more hp.. I remember back in 95 you could get a brand new Eclipse GST, had 210hp, weighed 2800 lbs and was 10k cheaper.. And better looking

The funny thing about this new beetle is that it is a better looking car than than the first re-release of the beetle. It is lower, wider, etc. The superbowl commercail with the beetle racing around was a perfec start to getting the males interested in it. But after that they stopped pushing it.
part of me thinks they want guys to buy the GTI. |

I would much rather have a GTI since the Beetle is just a very poorly packaged version of the Golf anyway.
Again, if it was rear-engined, I'd own one. |

Man, for $30k you are so close to buying an STI or EVO X. Or you can just buy a fully loaded WRX. Or spend much less and buy a Fiat Abarth, FRS, BRZ or something else. Why would someone want to buy one of these for $30k??? If it were in the low 20k's, i could see this happening, but $30k is a joke.

Not the same demographic at all. Most men will not be seen dead in a beetle convertible. A mustang convertible yes, a mini convertible maybe, but not a beetle convertible, and it's not about being fruity, the car just seems too feminine. The hardtop makes for a little more masculinity. So really the major demographic are women who want to look cute. But then you're also competing hard with the mini cooper s convertible for $28k. Also along the horizon toyota is going to release the FRS convertible which will blow both of these cars out of the water in terms of cuteness, and adds coolness to it as well.

My coworker owns a 2005ish cobra convertible, i guess your point is you need a bit more badassness to negate the cuteness of a convertible? So a male in a cobra mustang is ok, even though to the untrained eye, the cars look the same. Quote:
Have you seen the new FRS convertible preview pics?? But back to my original post and back on topic of the OP, which was referring to the hardtop only as pictured. I don't know why you brought up convertibles, pricing on that hasn't been released. Last edited by gggplaya; 05-07-2013 at 12:37 PM. |

The fact that you think they are "bad decisions" shows that you like to play into stereotypes. However, i don't like to be that type of ignorant person. A larger percentage of convertible buyers are women, but not the 99% that you think. I've seen plenty of men driving down the road in convertibles. And i know several that are perfectly straight, but love their convertibles. You also have to keep in mind, that snide remarks, comedic remarks, emotions and tone are lost in text type. I'm sure you're typing and reading it back to yourself in the same tone, however people reading on the other end will read it differently. I find it ironic that you own an S2000 yet still believe the stereotype. |
