If you live in Europe, you've probably seen thenew 2013 Beetle Convertible as it is already offered for sale, but on this side of the pond, the open-top Volkswagen just received its North American premiere at the Los Angeles Auto Show, where the German carmaker also announced pricing.In the States, the rag-topped Beetle gives buyers a choice of three powerplants. These include a base, 170hp 2.5-liter five-cylinder gasoline unit mated to a six-speed automatic, and a 140hp 2.0-liter turbo diesel with a six-speed manual or six-speed DSG dual-clutch transmission, which VW says compete the Fiat 500c and Mini Cooper Convertible.
At the top of the range is a 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline unit rated at 200 horsepower and 207 lb-ft of torque, which is also available with a six-speed stick shift and a DGS with the same number of gears.
VW believes that in America, the turbo model rivals the "Chevrolet Camaro, Ford Mustang Convertible and Mini Cooper S Convertible", which says a lot about how today's buyers shop around for cars…
Prices for the Beetle Convertible start at $24,995 for the 2.5L model and rise to $32,395 for a fully equipped 2.0 TSI variant. For more details on MSRPs and the equipment features of each model, scroll down for the press blurb.
