2005 VW New Beetle Bi-Color Edition, only 500 produced. What's next, a black tie edition convertible?

Looks to be more of a "Bi-Polar Condition"

Not for me--probably trying to boosts slipping sales. Doesn't even look good though!

I saw a Black Tie PT Cruiser yesterday, lots of chrome. Didn't know they made those. Patty has a Gun Metal Steel colored one, convertible.

I saw this VW at a dealership. I walked up and saw that it was an option. I was horrified. It looks even worse in person if that is possible. In the one I looked at the black almost showed through the red strip (if you can call it that). Just anohther sign that they don't fire auto designers. They just move them to new companies and jobs. "Yeah I'm the designer of the Aztek, but I got theis great idea for a custom paint job ..."

Ugly. Tangled, I am offended. lol I think Karen Carpenter had a great voice. Her and Mama Cass are two singers that had great voices which seems to be an anomaly these days.

That paint job is not for me and although I hate to admit it, I must agree with Ed as far as the singing voices of those two ladies.

I've seen Black over Silver becoming kinda popular...Harley offers that combo as well as the F-150 special edition or whatever it is...
