New Volkswagen Beetle RS Tuning
The new 2012 Volkswagen Beetle is sure to be on many tuning companies list when it debuts on the showroom floors in September.

Either way it is definitely a better look for the Beetle RS, since most of the owners of the previous model were female. It now carries that long lost swagger to attract the male tuning crowd and all the dedicated Volkswagen enthusiasts.
