Soon at Volkswagen, a subcompact and a minivan
The manufacturer Volkswagen us this week confirms the arrival of new vehicles and the resurgence of diesel. Among expected novelties have notes for May 2009 the arrival of the Tiguan, like the Jetta TDI sedan and wagon. In addition, a V6 TDI Touareg should appear in spring 2009, while the Passat we will be presented in the form of cutting four doors in spring 2009, a vehicle inspired by the lines of the Mercedes-Benz CLS. In addition to these new models, the manufacturer has also confirmed our arrival the next two or three years of a sub-compact car, but it is likely that this will not be the Polo. The arrival of a subcompact likely result in the disappearance of the Golf and Jetta models, two vehicles whose primary mission was to compensate for the lack of a product more affordable and entry-level. A signed Chrysler minivan
The most interesting new certainly affects arrival of a minivan, and, of this year. This newcomer will be the result of a partnership with Chrysler, a first for Volkswagen in North America. If the name of the latter remains secret, it is known to use the platform and mechanical components of the Chrysler minivan, but with a European suspension, developed by Volkswagen. Moreover, both outside as inside enjoy a completely different treatment, bringing a typically German philosophy. It is also assembled in Windsor, dimensions of the Grand Caravan and Town and Country. Although obviously, Volkswagen does not intend to compete in terms of price Chrysler and propose a product positioning in a slightly higher range, the odds of Odysey Honda and Toyota Sienna.
In disappointments, forget the R32, a more VITAMINEE edition GTI, it would be too costly to make the necessary changes to its Canadian registration, given the sales volume discount. Another disappointment if Europe will be entitled to return of the Scirocco, which we can see the first pictures spy around. It seems that his arrival in North America is unlikely. It seems that the GTI fulfills its role of rating our continent and the advent of a new kind of car is not desired here.
