On November 22^nd of last year, The Oprah Winfrey Show debuted a striking silhouette of the then upcoming 2012 Volkswagen Beetle. Little did the audience know that there was a big surprise waiting for them as Oprah excitedly talked up the iconic Volkswagen model, saying, "This is one powerful, sophisticated, sexy Beetle... All of you in this audience will be [among] the first people in the world to own one when it makes its debut next year!"¹

That's right, every audience member learned they'd be driving home their own 2012 Volkswagen Beetle as soon as it's released, and they've been waiting patiently ever since... Until now, that is. On October 13^th, the big day finally came as Volkswagen delivered the highly anticipted and redesigned Beetle to dealership lots across the country, just like Lokey Volkswagen.

We realize that some of you out there may be wondering exactly why Oprah picked the Volkswagen Beetle to be on her "Ultimate Favorite Things" list, but we honestly think the choice was likely a pretty easy one. However, in case the one-of-a-kind styling and topnotch build quality don't say it themselves, we'll let Jonathan Browning, president and CEO, Volkswagen of America, Inc. explain.

"The 2012 Beetle is an American icon that has been redesigned to fulfill the needs of the modern driver, while remaining true to its vintage characteristics. It is fully-customizable and is our sportiest, most fuel-efficient Beetle yet," said Browning. "We are very proud to present a new generation of Beetle owners with a vehicle that is built with no-compromise German engineering, is fun to drive, and will no doubt spark a sense of nostalgia and community that only the Beetle can evoke."²

If you'd like to learn more about the 2012 Volkswagen Beetle or any other new Volkswagen, then be sure to contact Lokey Volkswagen today, either online or by phone. Of course, if you'd really like to get a hands-on feel for your next Volkswagen then don't hesitate to schedule a test drive at 27850 U.S. Hwy 19 N today as well.
