The Shanghai Auto Show, set to begin on April 19 for its press days, will see the New Beetle making its Asian debut on April 22. The exact date for the public opening of the Shanghai Auto Show 2011 is yet to be announced.
Meanwhile, the New York Auto Show, which will follow shortly after, is scheduled to open its doors to the public after April 22, with the press days commencing on the same day. The New Beetle's North American debut will take place at a later date during the New York Auto Show.
