You're not drinking enough German beer!
Info is very sparse and I suspect it's all speculation.
Summary (not direct translation):
Next Beetle will come around April 2012 and the Cabrio in Spring of 2012. Styling will be more masculine and reflecting some of the original Beetle's lines. It will have a bigger trunk. (wow!!!) Powertrain options include: Gas (1.2L, 1.6L); Diesel (2.0L with 3 different outputs). The top (strongest) motor will be the GTI's 2.0L Turbo with DSG transmission. For Retro fans tires with white trim will be available.
Doesn't say which platform it'll be on but looks like Mk6 since the Mk7 arrives in 2013. Not in the article but for the US, I think VW will offer the Diesel 2.0L, Gas 2.0L Turbo and the current 2.5L.
