It appears that our beige Bug will have a nephew (or two) arriving as early as 2010. The new Bug that's likely to appear then is pictured in the top two photos above and will be known as the MkII (Mark Two) New Beetle. This new model may be a bit smaller and/or lighter than the current Bug - beige or not - as highly fuel efficient cars are more in demand in the U.S. at this time. Although we think this may just be icing on the chocolate cake... A recent drive of several hundred miles in the current Bug resulted in 26.2 real world MPG. Twenty six point two is marathon mileage!
The MkII New Beetle may also be joined by a mini-Bug based on the VW Up! Prototype, a Smart car competitor, pictured above in the bottom photo. Whether its one new New Beetle or two, it looks like good times are ahead for us Bug lovers.
