Ok, not in person. I wish. But there is a red one in the new Britney Spears video! Not a huge Britney fan, but at least the first video of hers I watch in a few years has a sweet car in it

YouTube - &#x202a;Britney Spears - I Wanna Go&#x202c;&rlm;

Hate to admit it, but I have the album...not horrible for what her "music" has become.

Looks like VW subsidized the video
This isn't the first time she has used a beetle in one of her beetles...either she likes them, or her handlers like them.

Yeah, was just able to watch the entire video here at work...when I saw the Ghia and as long as they spent on the different parts of the Beetle...def some advertising dollars of VW went into this.

For the non-Brittney fans, the B'12 is spotted at mark 1:18-1:59.

You're welcome

I'd have to say that VW financed that. The 2012, and the Ghia topless....I watched it on mute. At least she didn't walk all over the Beetle.

I'm amused that you'd admit this in a public forum

I know what we're dancing to at the After Glow Parking Lot hang out in 2013, haha!

I actually like that ground clearance... oh boy, it's starting to grow on me. I need a shot of something stat!

Why would they bother to "man up" the new Beetle and do something like this? Christ...

VW definitely has questionable taste in music. First the Black Eyed Peas now this.

Tell me about it mang.... I don't get it. I really hope VW didn't have a hand in that vid, but I think i'm wrong in that wise.

Where's all the "manned up" ads and pub to add some testosterone to the B'12 image

Well - a dude was driving it...Britney, though crazy, is still eye candy for men...albeit with a little airbrushing.

It's the Oprah give away that has me wondering how that was supposed to relate to men.

My good man, I do believe you've pulled the main Jenga block out of the tower So true mang.

With all the tuner/mod shows on Speed and Spike, one would hope that someone will grab one and bring a little dude perspective of the B12 to the masses.

Now ya talkin'

Ya know, you've really gotta give Scion props on how they advertise their vehicles. They know how to reach their target audiance- You'd think VW would've taken notice of that by now. Yes, the Beetle will sell itself, but you would think they'd try and push the ad envelope and reach out to the demographic that the redesign was targeted to.

I'm sure the ads will ramp up when the B12 hits the showrooms, but why wait till then
