2012 Volkswagen Beetle


After months of secrecy, Volkswagen unveils the latest update of their famous Beetle. Inspired by the lines of the original, the 2012 edition of the automobile goes on to boast longer and wider design aesthetics, in addition to four seats with a reclining back to accommodate additional storage. As of now, European buyers will have the choice of four engines ranging from an efficient 1.2-liter gasoline engine, a 2.0-liter turbocharged model and a 1.6-liter turbo diesel version. Official options for the U.S. have yet to be confirmed.

While the 1.6-liter turbo diesel engine delivers around 105 horsepower and 65.7 mpg (EU scale) as a result of an intelligent battery regeneration system, the captivative 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline engine goes on to utilize around 200 horsepower.

The 2012 Volkswagen Beetle makes its public debut this week at the Shanghai Motor Show and the New York Auto Show.

The Andy Monument in Union Square by Rob Pruitt


For the unaware, Broadway and East 17th in New York City represented an integral part of the pop art movement. The original location of Andy Warhol’s “Factory”, it was around the area that Warhol previously handed out copies of his Interview Magazine with an eclectic backdrop of transients, drug users and homeless. Artist Rob Pruitt originally made the move to New York cause of Warhol and offers his own tribute to the famous artist via a 10-foot-tall chrome statue known simply as “The Andy Monument”. The statue features Warhol, circa 1977 with contemporary dress including Levi’s 501s, a Brooks Brothers tweed jacket, Polaroid camera around the neck and a Bloomingdales bag in one hand.
