The diesel-powered 2013 Volkswagen Beetle will carry a sticker price of $24,065 including $770 in destination charges when it arrives in dealerships in August. It will be the first diesel Bug to hit the United States since 2006.


The 2.0-liter turbocharged oil burner will join the naturally aspirated 2.5-liter five-cylinder engine and the 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline engine in the lineup. Like the Golf TDI hatchback, the Beetle will have an output of 140 hp and 236 lb-ft of torque. VW says fuel economy will come in at 32 mpg in the city and 41 mpg on the highway.


All three trims will come with VW's standard six-speed manual transmission with the option of the dual-clutch automatic. The base Beetles include power windows, Bluetooth, steering-wheel-mount​ed controls, keyless entry and a media-device interface.

Too much of a price premium over a base gasoline engined version.

 

Get the diesels to within about $1,500 of the gas engine, and I think sales would really take off.

Last night my wife and I saw the "high five" commercial for the newest Beetle.  My wife said, "it cute!"  I thought to myself, "Exactly."
