New VW beetle announced

Volkswagen is to revive the Beetle - again, but this time, it is to go the whole way and make a new-generation rear-engined economy car.

This will be a new entry-level, tiny four-seat Volkswagen designed by Ferdinand Piech, grandson of original Beetle creator Ferdinand Porsche. It will have its engine mounted on top of the transaxle, driving the rear wheels, but a water-cooled radiator up front, in a variation from the classic Beetle theme.
