>>I don't think the new one beats the original in fuel economy. Both the gas and TDI versions of the new Beetle provide better mileage and performance over the original. >>The Beetle and the Golf share a common underbody. I'd expect the Golf to do as well in a collision. No doubt the new Beetle is far safer than the original and according to the testing, it also rates higher than the Golf according to the link I previously cited: msnbc.com In the first sentence states it clearly: The top-rated small car in the high-speed crash test is the same as the top-rated small car in last week's slow-speed crash test: the Volkswagen Beetle. Go down to the "Crash Worthy" display and Beetle gets "Good", Golf/Jetta gets "Marginal". The Honda Civic ranks second and well above Golf. In fact, Golf /Jetta ranks near the bottom. msnbc.com
