What a good read! I don't necessarily read car books, but this was a cover to cover good story! The photography is top-notch as well. A non-enthusiast will enjoy the book and will likely become a full-time enthusiast by reading. VW-fanatics won't be disappointed. Plenty of R&D-type stuff in here to keep you interested. Also neat that the publisher put the book out with four different colors--one for each of the most popular beetle colors!

After having followed the New Beetle from its first concept I wanted to know the full story. This books tells it all and it has some great pictures of the various prototypes and special models. There's even a picture of a NB in Herby style (by Neuspeed). I recommend this book for everyone who wants to know the full NB story.

I'm still waiting for my new Beetle, but in the meantime, I've got this great picture book! I loved the color photos, the history of NB and the side-by-side comparisons of the Beetle vs. Golf. This book is a must for all NB enthusiasts, especially those affected by NBAD (New Beetle Affective Disorder). If you read only one book this year, read this!

This book is a must for a true Beetle enthusiast, whether it's the Classic Beetle or the New Beetle or both. The color photos are incredible. I especially like the two-page photo of the old and the new side-by-side with the Alps as the backdrop. This car and this book make me SMILE. The author details the history of the New Beetle from its inception, the enthusiasm it evoked, and the tireless hours spent on perfecting the finished product. Any Beetle lover will love this book. You will want it in your library.

The book arrived sooner than expected. Though listed as Used, Good condition, I could not have told it from new. The book itself was a surprize -- a fun read, and well researched and laid out. I am very happy with this purchase.

A great tribute to the New Beetle. I admit it took me 8 years to actually grow fond of this vehicle. But now I do and I am the better man!

This book gives an excellent history of the New Beetle, from conception to competition. A must read for New Beetle fans.

As a New Beetle owner, and one who learned to drive in an old bug, a wonderful book with excellent photography, rich historical text and superb in-depth interview. It will bring a smile to your face. A must for a New Beetle owner. Two of my friends have bought New Beetles after riding in mine - I bought copies for both.

This book is full of great information and has cunning chapter titles. The colorful pictures are a lively touch to the book.I look forward to seeing more pieces by this excellent writer.

Great Book, from concept 1 till 1.8T. Shame there are no pictures of the new beetle in different colours. Red an Grey are mainly used for the pictures which are from great quality. As I am not good in English ( I'm from Belgium ) the book was easy to read. I'm sure, if I have my new beetle I'll hug it (or her). One of the best car-books I've ever read. You can see that Matt Delorenzo (the author) really loves the new bug.
