That Baja Beelte has a distinct lack of Baja-ness. Lame and tiny minor height increase. No bazooka exhaust. Ugh. May I suggest something better?

The engine is stuffed in the wrong end, its wrong wheel drive....calling it a Beetle is 100 shades of wrong....

The Dune gets you a 0.4-inch raised Beetle with a wider stance and an overall rugged and muscled-up look available in two-door coupe and convertible versions. As a standalone trim level the Dune will be offered in Sandstorm Yellow, Pure White, or Deep Black Pearl with contrasting “Dune” stripes on the sides.  If VW ever wanted to introduce a more masculine Beetle, that should have been it!
...but no AWD.  :shake:

How dumb are people to buy this sh!t?
:shake: :shake: :shake:

Sab, great references, though - definitely now stuck in my head.  Gah!
