With the economy car back in Vogue (think Honda Fit, Nissan Versa, and Scion xD) expect more to start arriving. Volkswagen is the next in line to be rumoured to bringing a new model over. The model, called 'Up!', is a two seater like the Smart Car which will be hitting streets soon.
The car, unveiled at the Frankfort auto show Monday, is a rear wheeled drive vehicle which its engine in the rear. If Americans can forget about the Pinto, then VW may be able to sell a few these.

the Pinto did not have a rear engine. Corvair did, but so did the adored original VW Beetle. People wont frown n this design at all.
I hope they offer a over 70 mpg stripped model under 10 grand. That i what VW has been lacking in the USA...but available in Europe with the Lupo and Polos
