The stock front headlights of the New Beetle have always reminded me of a Porsche 993's headlights--almost look the same.

And of course Ferdinand Porsche who designed the original Beetle and Porsche designs, so a small whale, doesn't look soo bad, a small homage to Ferdinand, one could say.

Why the hell did they design the new Beetles with the engine in front?

That is because they are based off the golf chassis...nothing a Golf IV (I believe that is the gen.) in Beetle clothing.
