Oprah just gave away 350 VW's

So much for supporting USA automakers?

She doesn't spend a thin nickle of her money - all sponsor paid and most likely she gets paid for the endorsement. The only thing she is known for investing in was a south african school where children ended up being mistreated and abused.

I have no love for her - she is selfish and does nothing for the country that made her so rich.

2012 Beetle.

They won't even get the cars until fall of next year or something like that.

And if the new Jetta is any indication of where Volkswagen design and quality is heading...well, ouch.

This is correct. The rest I'm not sure about. VW probably gave the show the best offer. They don't just pick a name out of a hat and decide to give cars away.

Oprah is such a joke. Everyone praises her for her generosity. Bull shit. Meanwhile the Gates family is giving away $10 billion usd over the next few years to develop vaccines for various diseases. Fat disgusting bitch doesn't do shit to help people in reality.

Mules I've seen of the '12 bug look like a smooshed 2dr Panamara. Seriously, I think they're trying to put a little porsche in them to make them less.. 'chick-mobile'. Looks like the three way lovechild of an 80s VW Thing, a mid 70s 911 and a Beatle. Moneys on them sampling Ringo's DNA..

And they got it from Warren Buffet. Both of which are much more of a humanitarian than Oprah. Although, reluctantly, I have to give her some credit, but why a VW!
