Possibility of seeing Volkswagen’s Up! and Space Up! on the streets
Talks regarding the possible production of Volkswagen’s Up! and Space Up! are circulating due to its successful launched at the Frankfurt and Tokyo auto shows this fall. But Volkswagen R&D Chief Ulrich Hackenburg confirmed that the vehicles production is yet to be discussed.
Hackenburg announced last week in Tokyo that it would take three to four months before a decision will be made. After that Volkswagen is yet to decide whether to go pursue the production of the vehicle that will take the place of Fox, which is available in Europe. The new models will also set a new trend for Volkswagen in other countries, including North America.
The report done by Edmunds.com says that this will buy Volkswagen some time to prepare for the third installment of the up! concept, which is scheduled to be unveiled at the Los Angeles auto show in mid-November. Expect the new concept to look like a compact sedan and have a plug-in hybrid system.
