Greetings all, today's post is a breath of fresh air, in a sense. Yes, its another "new cars coming out soon" post, but these are cars that the common man can actually buy! Normalcy abounds today folks, so if your looking for tyre smoke and stupidity, you'll have to look elsewhere.
First, there's the New, uh, New Beetle. Now I'm not gonna sugar coat it, I love this car. It looks like the original, which was epic. Instead of being a double mirror image of itself, this one has an elongated snout and a short, choppy back. Also, rumor has it that it will be rear engined again. Now while odds of that are slim, that would be beyond awesome. Think baby, baby 911. Doubtful given that Porsche owns VW and they won't have anything competing with their cars, will they? Either way, I don't think Beetles will be chick cars anymore, and as you can see by these photos, this new interation will only add more credence to the jokes about 911s being hopped up Beetles.
Next, there's the new Chevy Malibu. As much as I hate to say this, I don't like it. It looks cheap, slapped together. Rather than an evolution of an existing car, it looks like something cobbled together from GM's massive parts bin. And it looks like a very fat Cruze. Yes, I know they're going for brand identity and they want the cars to look similar, but come on. Its a fatass clone for god's sake! And what the hell is with the radio? Flip-up flat screen? In a family sedan? Yea, that won't fall apart or anything.....And why does a car need a second glove box? Oh well, at least the taillights are nice, new cars have some awesome taillights nowadays.
Well that's it, photos below, judge for yourself. Normal service will resume tomorrow......maybe.
