The 2012 Volkswagen Beetle represents a complete ground-up redesign, introducing the A5 generation with a lower roofline, wider stance, and a more aggressive, masculine character that distinguishes it from the rounded New Beetle it replaced. Engine choices span the 2.5L five-cylinder, a 200-horsepower 2.0T turbocharged four, and a 2.0L TDI diesel, giving buyers a range of performance and efficiency options. The sportier proportions, revised interior, and available two-tone color combinations make the A5 Beetle one of the boldest visual updates in Volkswagen's recent history.

Photos of the 2011 Chrysler 200 S sedan in Bright White, taken by Cory Wolfe at the 2011 Chicago Auto Show. The 200 S appearance package added 18-inch dark-painted alloy wheels, a blacked-out grille, and sport-tuned suspension to set it apart from the standard 200. The 200 replaced the long-running Sebring and marked a fresh start for Chrysler's midsize sedan lineup.

The 2012 Dodge Charger SRT-8 is powered by the 6.4-liter 392 Hemi V8 producing 470 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 5-speed AutoStick automatic transmission sending power to the rear wheels. Sport-tuned adaptive damping suspension, Brembo four-piston front brakes, and 20-inch SRT performance wheels give the Charger SRT-8 a 0-60 time in the high 4-second range and a 175 mph top speed. These photos were captured at the auto show world debut, covering every angle of the grey LD-generation SRT-8 from its dramatic dark-arena reveal to fully lit stage shots showing the crosshair grille, quad exhaust, and signature full-width LED taillights.
