New Beetle an Oprah 'Favorite Thing'
Oprah did it again, recently giving away a new car to every member of her studio audience. This time she teamed with Volkswagen to give away the new 2012 Volkswagen Beetle. The completely redesigned car was revealed in silhouette and made Winfrey's "Favorite Things" list. The new Beetle, which will be fully revealed in the spring, will feature a sportier, more aggressive stance, sleeker styling and will be highly customizable. Pricing has not been set for those not lucky enough to have been in Oprah's audience.
