Mrs. Z-man had a turbo Beetle - she had the "Uni-Red Color Concept" version. It was a slick little car. That little 1.8 turbo motor sure could scoot. It was a very safe car as well.

I suspect that the new turbo is more powerful, although I also suspect that the new "Man Bug" is also a bit heavier than the first gen New Beetle.

And yes, I sometimes drove Mrs. Z's car - flowers and all. Even autocrossed it at a BMW event once - flowers and all. Yes, I am in touch with my feminine side, thankyouverymuch.

-Z-man.
