How does the new beetle make it onto the hatchback town hall board? The last time I looked, only the tiny trunk cover lifted up.

The New Beetle is a hatchback so thus its on the hatchback board. The whole rear glass comes up with the "trunk lid", so that classifies it as a hatchback. Guess you need to look a bit more closely.

I have a '00 GLS turbo. I love the car, but it makes some strange noises:
 
1. When I first open the driver's door, I hear the "whirr" of some small electric motor. What is that?
 
2. Sometimes when I drive, I hear a faint "beep" noise, somewhere in the dash. Any idea what this is?
 
3. Sometimes when I turn off the car, I hear a brief, high pitched warning sound. Any idea what that is?
 
4. When I start the car, the blue "engine cold" light comes on. About 20% of the time, within 30 seconds or so, it changes to the read "engine hot" light and the high-pitched beeping sound goes off. Within a few minutes, it either goes back to blue or turns off. Of course the engine can't be too hot; I've just started the car, the temperature around here has consistently been in the 40s or 50s. I assume it's a sensor error. Anyone else have this problem?

the whirr is the fuel pump.
beep noise could be from changing volume on the stereo or source (FM to tape or CD)
the turbos continue to circulate oil after the car is turned off, may be the noise you hear.
The temp light, mine goes from blue to nothing being lit up.
