share her Beetle experience with deserving viewers,
we instantly wanted to be a
part of it," said Jonathan Browning, President and CEO, Volkswagen
Group of
America.
"Our all-new 2012 Beetle exemplifies power, styling and
sophistication,
and is an automotive icon reinvented to create the new shape of

available in showrooms next fall.
U.S.
the Beetle will offer the performance, styling, accessories and
features that
will ensure there will be a Beetle for everyone.

Beetle will
be a true,
performance driving machine perfected by German engineering,
offering a wealth of technologies that will provide a heightened
driving
experience over the previous generation.
