The studio audience members haven't seen their new cars yet; Oprah drove out onto the stage in a 2010 Beetle, but only showed off a silhouette of the new, more squat car. Luckily, Leftlane has very detailed spy photos of the yet-to-be-released 2012 Volkswagen Beetle.
"Oprah Winfrey and the Volkswagen Beetle are two American icons, so when the Oprah show approached us with this incredible opportunity to share her Beetle experience with deserving viewers, we instantly wanted to be a part of it," said Jonathan Browning, CEO of Volkswagen of America, in a statement released to members of the media.
The 275 lucky audience members will have to wait several months to fetch their Beetles; the car won't go on sale for about eight months.
