What’s the story on the 21st Century Beetle? Reactions from the New York International Auto Show

To celebrate the reveal of the all-new 2012 Beetle, Volkswagen product specialist Danielle Gumro caught up with automotive journalists, VW insiders and auto enthusiasts to find out what they think of the car’s new iconic shape and high-performance features. Because the Beetle has always played a unique role in popular culture, Danielle also asked people to share their Beetle stories (everybody has one, right?).
