To all those that have bought the new Beetle - you've been duped. All you've done is bought a Golf with less space, worse aerodynamics and no boot.

I don't understand how anyone could buy one.

The new mini is a slightly (but only slightly) different prospect. It at least has made an attempt at being similar to the old car, except for things like price obviously.

Neither car really does much, but at least BMW seem to have tried to put some performance into their car, but I don't know how successful they've been yet.

If anyone wants to know, new Beetle sales seem to have slumped already in Australia.
