New VW Beetle Brings The Buzz To New York Auto Show

On Monday, the New York Auto Show showcased the new Beetle design by VW. No price has been announced on the 2012 VW Beetle, which will hit showrooms in October of this year. This could be only the 3rd version of the German working-class subcompact vehicle in its 90-year history.

How it all started

Germany was simply answering to the American Ford Model-T when the VW Beetle was at first commissioned in 1938 by Adolph Hitler. It became an American auto in less than twenty years. United States teachers, civil servants and social workers really loved the car. With the new 2012 Beetle design, Volkswagen is seeking to recapture the import status in the United States now held by Japanese automakers like Honda, Toyota and Nissan Motors.

"The U.S. is the most important market for Beetle, and it is a critical part of the new chapter we are trying to write for Volkswagen in the U.S. and worldwide," said Volkswagen of America CEO Jonathan Browning in a statement to the automotive press.

Bigger, better vehicle

The new Beetle is over six inches longer and three inches wider than the 1994 Beetle pattern making it larger than other VW designs while the 2012 Volkswagen Beetle is nevertheless nice looking. AOL Autos reports that there could be 2.0 liter gas and diesel alternatives for turbo chargers while the vehicle will sit lower to the ground. The Beetle may also have a 2.5 liter, 200 horsepower motor. A combined fuel economy of 33 mpg is anticipated in the diesel model with 29 mpg city/40 mpg highway.

The Super Bowl tease

An animated commercial spot that ran during the Super Bowl XLV telecast depicted a "Beetle" bug scattering through a forest. This was not the first tease for the new VW Beetle, however. During 2010, the 2012 VW Beetles were offered during an Oprah "Favorite Things" episode. VW gave it to all audience members. The 2012 Beetle was not displayed in the episode. Instead, the 2009 Beetle was used to view.

The VW United States attempt

There could be a new assembly plant started in Tennessee this year by the German automaker showing its commitment to the U.S., Jalopnik states. Sadly, the new Beetle won't be made there, but in Puebla, Mexico. AOL Autos explained that the Volkswagen competition for the Toyota Camry, Honda Accord and Ford Fusion is the new Passat which can be built in the "Agriculture and Commerce" state.
