When the OPRAH Show was in its last season, one of the episodes they did in December was called ‘Oprah’s Favorite Things’. She brought in everything that she cherishes that forms part of her daily life and she multiplied these into 426 to give to her audience on the day. After having given over $10 000 worth of Christmas gifts to each person, she announced that she has one more last surprise for them. The studio design was broken into two and opened like a helicopter hanger, then hooters and horns blowing and the crowd went uncontrollably wild as her Beetle Bug ascended the stage. She burst their bubble though as she got out of the car and announced that unfortunately she could not be able to give away this vehicle as VW refused that she do so, which I was very grateful for.
However in an Oprah style they wanted to compensate each and every person of the 426 that was in the studio with a brand new Gutsy & Daring 2012 VW Beetle making them the first people to own this model … at that time I switched off my TV.
It was disgusting; it made me sick to my stomach I did not watch TV for the rest of the day. I was not totally mad at Oprah for giving away cars for Christmas, I was mad at VW for giving away the new 2012 Beetle to 426 ugly people all at once when not even Oprah ever owned one.
You’d wish a painting would fall from the wall and kill the marketing manager’s mother or better even Bin Laden would fly a plane straight into his lips. Perhaps even Bush would find weapons of mass destruction stashed in his shoes. All I am saying is some people deserve to be shot. This is royal five star engineering and thus deserves to be treated as such, or this could only be my opinion and only about the rest of the world that knows a good thing when they see one.
Since the new front-engined, front-wheel-drive Beetle was launched in 1998 its design never really had any noticable changes, until now 14 years later. The 2012 Beetle pushes the limits of performance and style, it redefines femininity against masculinity. I look at it, I see a chick that can bench press 200, one with Angelina’s face and Arnold Schwarzenegger’s biceps, this Beetle will squash you.
If VW said they were targeting a new clientele and market share in this model I will say ‘gut gemacht’ to the design team you have really outdone yourselves, take leave on Sunday next week.
They have brought five packages with this model to accommodate everyone from the exotic dancer to a pimp. The packages include the Comfort line, Highline, Sport line, Primiere and the Priemiere+. The main attraction here being the Sportline that comes out with 18” alloy wheels with red brake calipers and Dual humming side to side exhausts. 
The interior is lined with leather seating surfaces with heated seat mechanism. The Primiere+ takes over from there and tops out with an RNS 315 touch screen navigation system, Fender® branded sound system and an automatic transmission. All these models will be available in South Africa and these are sure to dazzle even the hardest of enthusiasts. We can expect the models to retail between R 250 000 to R 320 000 when it launches in South Africa around May 2012.
