2012 Volkswagen beetle

I'm thinking of trading my camaro, in on a 2012 Volkswagen beetle with a turbo charged and a six speed. It has 200 horsepower and 207 foot pounds of torque.

Seems like a bit of a step down. Of course, the new ones aren't tailor made for chicks, and they look pretty cool, so if that's what you want go for it.

Family member has a reg beetle with the rabbit motor in it. The beetle with the 2.0 has the gti engine in it. Chip it and it will have gobs of torque.

It'll be faster than your camaro....although fwd=fail so i wouldnt get it....the camaro and the beetle are 2 totally different cars.

Your beetles driver side window may give you problems and VW has yet to find a fix for it so when you go test drive the vehicle make sure all electronics work.

The gen 1 versions were stereotyped as a chicks car. The new one would have to shake that image before I would consider one.

Turbo your V6 and problem solved cause ur gonna. There are alot of turbo cars faster than the V6 camaro I had one it was a Turbo Cobalt. Ford is comming out with the Focus ST and im sure there will be another Srt 4 model of the dart comming out as well. Camaro looks better than all i have mentioned including the Beetle.
