Six local Oprah fans to get their new cars
Six local fans of the Oprah Winfrey Show will soon be driving around the area in a new 2012 Volkswagen Beetle.
The viewers won the cars on Oprah's "Ultimate Favorite Things" episode that aired on November 17, 2010.
They will get the keys Thursday at Lou Bachrodt VW at 10:00 a.m.
"Lou Bachrodt VW is thrilled to offer our local residents one of the most highly anticipated vehicles of the 21st century—we know Beetle fans have been eagerly waiting for this day," said George Schaffner, General Manager of the Bachrodt Auto Mall. "Yet, with its fierce and sporty design, extra cargo space and improved fuel economy, the 2012 Beetle is sure to gain a new generation of admirers as well."
Summit Car Dealer to Award Oprah Show Prize
Douglas Volkswagen is the pickup location for a 2012 Beetle, a prize on one of Oprah's final shows last year.
A South Orange woman will pick up her Oprah Winfrey Show giveaway at Douglass Volkswagon on Morris Avenue tomorrow morning. Last year, during the show's final broadcast television season, Winfrey gifted her audience a 2012 Volkswagen Beetle, which made her "Favorite Things" holiday list. At the time, the car was unreleased.
According to Chris Ng, a sale associate at the Summit dealership, each audience member who won the car that day was given the option of a pickup location. The South Orange woman chose Summit as her preferred location, said Ng.
"This [Beetle] is specific for her," Ng said about the car which will be polished up and put on the showroom floor waiting for the audience member, whose name wasn't released at the time of this posting. After giving the Oprah fan a detailed breakdown of the car's offerings, the car is hers for the drive back to South Orange. "She can drive off the showroom floor," Ng said.
Volkswagen uploaded a clip of the the Oprah episode in November 2010 (watch the clip, here). The popular show, which was cancelled in May, ran for 25 years on ABC. Winfrey left the show to run her cable channel, OWN.

The 2.5L Beetle has a starting MSRP of $18,995 plus destination fees, and comes standard with a split folding rear seat, aux-in for portable audio players, a leather steering wheel, unique and customizable17-inch alloy wheels, and an eight-speaker audio system. Attractive options include a kaeferfach additional glovebox, Bluetooth® technology, iPod® connectivity, heated front seats, three-color interior ambient lighting, a panoramic sunroof, 18-inch alloy wheels, the Fender® Premium Audio System, and leatherette seating surfaces.
The 2.0L Turbo Beetle, which has a starting MSRP of $23,395, comes standard with a six-speed manual transmission, with the option of Volkswagen’s DSG© dual-clutch automatic transmission. In addition to the standard equipment found on the Beetle, this model adds Bluetooth® technology, iPod® connectivity, three-color ambient lighting, larger brakes with red calipers, the kaeferfach additional glovebox, sport seating surfaces, 18-inch alloy wheels, a rear spoiler, foglights, three additional gauges n the dashboard, and alloy pedals.
