Volkswagen Beetle 2012
Those fortunate Oprah fans who were luckily enough to be given a 2012 Volkswagen Beetle all those months ago now know what their brand new set of wheels will look like. Volkswagen has formally yanked back the linens on the most recent take on the 2012 Beetle. Longer and also wider than it's predecessor, the German automaker says that the vehicle's makers were influenced by the lines of the original Beetle. As a result, there is more than a little Ragster Concept thrown into the combination with a longer roof line plus a more aggressively-raked windshield.The appearance is not pretty what we expected after seeing spy shots of the automobile frolicking around in the sun. It would look VW pulled a fast one on us by fitting the 2012 mule with last-generation taillights at the time, as the brand new one functions larger magnet-like items that give the 2012 model's rump a radically various look.

Volkswagen Jetta GLI 2012

| 2012 Volkswagen Jetta GLI |
There is definitely nothing smooth concerning the Jetta GLI's inspiration, courtesy of VW's stellar turbocharged TWO. 0-liter inline-four which pumps out TWO HUNDRED horse power and 207 pound-feet of torque, and can be mated to a six-speed manual or VW's quick-shifting, six-speed DSG that includes steering wheel mounted paddle shifters and rev-matched downshifts.
While there are no official EPA ratings yet, Volkswagen expects the GLI's highway mileage to be 31 mpg for the manual and 32 mpg on the automatic. For reference, a 2011 GTI hatch weighs some 29 pounds less than the 2011 Jetta SEL with the 2.5-liter inline-five and is rated at 24/33 mpg city/highway; chances are VW's estimates for the GLI will be spot on.
Separating the GLI from lesser Jettas is not left to the turbocharged engine alone. Carried over from the European-spec Jetta, the GLI receives four-way independent rear suspension instead of the twist beam suspension setup found elsewhere in the Jetta's U.S. lineup. We suspect the Euro-tuned suspension will up the fun-to-drive quotient in VW's more potent compact sedan. VW's XDS cross differential system also makes an appearance on the GLI. The technology helps prevent inside wheel spin during cornering, just as it does on the GTI.
Distinguishing the GLI from the rest of the lineup are 17- or 18-inch wheels, smoked taillight lenses, a revised front bumper with larger air intake, and a honeycomb grille outlined in bright trim. Four-wheel disc brakes with floating red calipers are also part of the package. Inside, the GLI has everything you'd expect from a hotter version of the Jetta: sport bucket seats and a flat-bottom steering wheel, both with red stitching. A 6.5-inch touchscreen display is standard, as is Bluetooth, iPod connectivity, and auto up/down power on all four side windows.
The price tag for the 2012 Jetta GLI starts at $24,265 (including destination) and bumping up to the $26,315 GLI Autobahn nets heated leather seats, 18-inch wheels, and a Fender sound system. Navigation and keyless, push-button start can be added onto the Autobahn package, bringing the MSRP to $27,215.
Of course, we'll have to drive it to see if it's become mushy, but with the 2.0-liter turbo and independent rear suspension, we're confident it will represent the spirit of the GLI name.

You will discover undoubtedly absolutely nothing smooth around the Jetta GLI's inspiration, due to VW's stellar turbocharged three. 0-liter inline-four of which designer high heel sandals out there two hundred hp as well as 207 pound-feet from torque, which enables it to become mated to somewhat of a six-speed guide or perhaps VW's quick-shifting, six-speed DSG that includes tyre attached exercise shifters and also rev-matched downshifts.
Even while you will discover simply no recognized EPA scores however, Volkswagen needs the particular GLI's freeway fuel consumption rate for being thirty-one mpg in the regular and additionally 33 mpg around the automated. Intended for blueprint, any 2011 GTI hatch weighs in at several twenty nine lbs . a lot less than typically the 2011 Jetta SEL considering the a pair of. 5-liter inline-five and is particularly rating with 24/33 mpg city/highway; likelihood is VW's quotes in the GLI will probably be just right.
