Seriously uncool.

Engine's in the wrong end, drive wheels are at the wrong end, it just has none of the character or charisma of its predecessor.

Uncool. It looks stupid and it has no character. Apparently, it's really popular amongst women and gays.

^I gave a COOL, since the car still has a unique design like the original, and they didn't just increase the size a little (like Mini)

Definitely uncool; Its a golf but much more expensive and with a 3 or 4 year old VAG technology, its even a supposedly subtitution of the first beetle which at the end of the day is nothing about this

On the other hand, although I dont like the primitive beetle´s conception but at least it was original and very personal which the new one is not at all

A retro car is only cool if it has some of the original car's spirit and character. This one has not and is therefor (seriously) uncool.
