2012 Volkswagen Beetle Rumored to Debut at NY Auto Show

[AutoGuide.com]

With Volkswagen having teased its new 2012 Beetle during last night's Super Bowl, the official reveal won't come for quite a few more weeks. According to at least one report the car isn't scheduled to debut until the New York Auto Show in April.

Inspired by the Ragster Concept, the new shape will be more reminiscent of the original Beetle's while power will come from a variety of engines including VW's 170-hp 2.5-liter 5-cylinder and the brand's TDI diesel with lots of torque and exceptional fuel economy.

Later this week, VW is expected to unwrap the new Jetta GLI model at the Chicago Auto Show, boasting 200-hp from a turbocharged 4-cylinder engine.

yeah the detailed version looks like an 80s Porsche but the early version looks like an 40s Ford

IMHO both cars are completely different

Very doubtful they will bring the S back , since they have the Gti and Gli . side note there is a guy on the vortex who has a mk1 Gli that Vw used to film a commerical but it hasn't been released to public yet .

Those are some really sexy lines... looking more like a classic Beetle... and a Porsche.

I work for Volkswagen and they haven't told us ANYTHING.

They had the GTI and GLI back when the Turbo S came out. So I wouldn't be surprised if they do another with the new model. Especially since they are trying to gear the next New Beetle towards more men.
