But nothing from VW, other than the announcement that the NB was dead after the '10 model year.
Its been on the current chassis for 12 years though. VW has already moved on to the Mk6 platform. The NB is due for a redesign at least.

There is an official word from VW actually. Vw HAS said that the next beetle has already started production of prototypes. We just haven't seen what it looks like yet and they have now given any specifics. When those prototypes are done, we'll start seeing camo'd versions popping up everywhere.
Oh, and since the mk6 Jetta & the Mk6 Golf/GTI use 2 different platforms now, I'm sure the Beetle will use the one from the Golf since its smaller.
We should hopefully see something from Vw offically on this year's autoshow circut. Maybe Geneva since that is the one with the most Vw Debuts.
