Iconic convertibles seem to be making a comeback, and there is no more iconic a ragtop than the VW Beetle. The New Beetle Convertible makes a great looking drop-top, offering the power, safety and comfort that eluded the first generation Bug. Of course, the engine is up front, as are the drive wheels, but with the top retracted the feel from behind the wheel is just like old times. Strict new emission standards force the removal of the fuel-miserly TDI diesel option for 2007, leaving the new 150-horsepower 2.5-liter as the sole engine choice.
