Rated 3 out of 5

Ben Pulman, 23 October 2008 11:05

This is VW’s latest Golf Plus, with a Scirocco-inspired nose and high-quality interior. And while the exterior changes might not look much, Volkswagen will tweak the Golf Plus just enough to designate it a Mk2 model. Expect the revised car to make its debut at the Bologna motor show in December 2008. Talk me through the tweaks to the VW ...

Volkswagen is readying a top-secret mid-engined sports car in the mould of the Lotus Elise – a true people’s sports car in keeping with the brand’s populist roots and wearing a tempting price tag hovering around £20,000.

These are the best pictures yet of Volkswagen’s iconic Golf GTI – we've caught the sixth-generation performance hotshoe undertaking final hot weather testing before its public debut at the 2008 Paris motor show on 2 October 2008.

U-turn! VW's Up will be front-engined

Rated 2.5 out of 5

Phil McNamara, 19 July 2008 13:51

Shock news from Volkswagen: the Up city car and spiritual successor to the original Beetle will switch to a front engine/front-wheel drive layout, CAR can confirm.

'For cost, design and aerodynamic reasons, we will probably have to put ...

This mule outwardly looks like identikit Touareg 2008 but we hear the Mk2 will be lightly refreshed. Expect a Bauhaus-inspired design, with a wedgier profile, more dynamic glasshouse ...
