You sir hit the nail on the head...
The misconception here is that the New Beetle and the New Mini were to be to the new generation what they were to the old generation... which was to be the cheapest most affirdable transportation on the road..
That is NOT why those 2 models were revived - they were revived to sell to Baby Boomers who GREW up wanting the Mini and Beetle - and would easily drop 30 Large on the either car - for themselves or their kids.
So - based on the intended market - both are NOT over priced IMHO.
Now if only they had as many Turbo Beetles as Cooper S's around town here...
