Again, VW keeps us guessing.

As stated a few posts back, there's supposed to be "the big reveal" in November.... We'll see
I have always found it bizarre how VW is handling this issue. The Beetle is what defines Volkswagen, yet they keep us guessing until practically the last minute as to what the NB 2 will look like. And so much so that there are still many who aren't 100% convinced that there will even BE a NB 2. In fact, as recently as the Sep 2010 issue, Car and Driver said the Beetle was dead! This was around the same time I got a letter from VW Corporate saying that there WILL be a NB 2.

Here's the difference a few years can make: When VW unveiled the Concept One back in 1994, we got a 4-year preview of what basically became the New Beetle. Now, we MIGHT see the succesessor in a couple of months, which will be less than a year before it is said to go into production. Even VW salespeople don't know what's going on.

Maybe other auto manufacturers have done likewise, but of course my focus (and likely everyone else's on here) is on the Beetle. One would think that VW surely must realize that we want to know NOW.
