Wolfsburg, September 2007. There are cars that endure for all times. They are icons of their type, masterpieces of craftsmanship and technology; they put ideas into motion, make progress tangible and sometimes quite simply make everyday life better, more practical and enjoyable. Many of these cars carry the VW logo. “Bug, Beetle, New Beetle”, “T1, Bulli, Samba bus, California”, “Golf, GTI”. Now Volkswagen is presenting – as a world premiere at the International Motor Show (IAA) in Frankfurt – a concept car that once again has the right stuff needed to move more than just one generation. It is a small, pure and high-spirited Volkswagen that pays tribute to its environment. The overall concept is marked by an innovative, clear, intuitive functionality. The name of the concept car: up! – a positive name that is a synonym for departure, activity, dynamics and the future. “For Volkswagen”, says Dr. Ulrich Hackenberg, Board Member with Responsibility for Technical Development, “the response of IAA visitors will be a decisive test to determine whether the concept has the same kind of potential possessed by the Beetle at one time or by the Golf today.” Full Story...

lol i seen that on you tube doing burnouts

LETS GO DALLAS COWBOYS!!!!!!!!!
LETS GO NJ DEVILS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The front is a too 'cheesy-happy'.

The rear is really...'ugh'

The side view is actually ok for this type of small car.

Back to the drawing boards, VW!

I hope they make it, and I hope it comes with a manual.

I dont like how the body has some rounded forms (fenders and intakes, rear hatch) and some hexagonal edges (side windows and headlights) its not very coherant

in a CL its not how fast you drive to get to Point A but how many shortcuts you know

poke smot everyday

LOVE the front and back end design, hopefully they'll incorporate that into all future models soon.

And is the LCD multi-touch?
It'll be awesome if they have Apple work on the interface

"And true to VWOA form, the version version of the up! received in the US will have a 2.5L engine getting 22-26MPG".

lol.. Looks like someone had a little fun with the sketch

You might as well quite dreaming about the Polo....Its not going to happen. Well at least not in the form everyone over hear wants it in. I have asked several people at VW if they plan on importing it. They said most likely it will never happen. Why? After they get the car to meet frontal crash test for the US it would no longer be the car it is in Europe.

I really like the UP! That in my opinion is a lot more likely to hit US shores. Since IMO it is a People's Car. i think it would be a home run with America much like the original Beetle was.

However, remember it IS a VW. It's not leaking oil, it's just marking territory.
