Oprah viewers get keys to 2012 Volkswagen Beetle giveaway cars

The redesigned 2012 Volkswagen Beetle is arriving at dealerships, and some of the first people to get one have waited nearly a year.

Talk-show host Oprah Winfrey revealed the Beetle's design silhouette on her "Ultimate Favorite Things" giveaway show in 2010 and told audience members that they would be among the first owners.

On Thursday, 276 people got their cars. Volkswagen of America CEO Jonathan Browning handed keys to 21 "Ultimate Favorite Things" recipients at the Volkswagen of Orland Park dealership in Orland Park, Ill.
