Same soul. Different everything else. The 2012 Volkswagen Beetle. One look at the curves on the all-new Beetle and you can see that it’s meant to be driven. The available 200 horse power turbocharged engine with 207 pound feet of torque paired with either a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic DSG transmission with Tiptronic make this the fastest production turbocharged Beetle ever. It’s longer wider and sleeker than the previous models. Which means it looks like a sports car on the outside and it has serious room on the inside. The all-new 2012 Beetle comes with a streamlined set of buttons you can push and more bells and whistles than ever. Take the available touchscreen navigation system. With fancy Bluetooth technology in the mix you can make calls just by pressing a button and saying someone’s name and answer them just as easily. Every Beetle is designed to help you maintain control in a variety of situations and assist in avoiding collisions. That’s why they’re called active safety features. The 2012 Volkswagen Beetle. Rediscover that feeling you get when driving a Beetle.
