More V-Dub Up! coming to Tokyo, LA

September 15, 2007

Filed under: , , ,

If you liked Volkswagen’s Up! concept shown at Frankfurt earlier this week, we have some good news for you.

First, the head of VW, Martin Winterkorn, admitted the Up! was likely to see production in a few years. We like the sound of VW heading back to its rear-engined roots, and look forward to seeing how the company does with it.

Second and third, Winterkorn also says VW will have variations of the platform to show off at both the Tokyo Motor Show next month and, in November, at the Los Angeles show. What those might be, he didn’t get into. Sedan? Wagon? Convertible? Hybrid? We’ll know for sure within just a few weeks.

And if that’s not enough good news for Up! fans, he also hinted at a possible fourth variation. No date was given for that car’s intro, but Detroit in January would be a good guess.
