Preview: 2009 Volkswagen Polo MPV
In 1996 Volkswagen introduced the Typ 9K Caddy light van based on the existing Polo small car platform. The van was designed by VW’s Seat subsidiary, manufactured in Spain, and built right up until 2005 when it was replaced by the Golf-based Typ 2K Caddy. VW is expected to release a new version of the Caddy aimed at private buyers based on the new-generation Polo due early next year.

Volkswagen’s four door pseudo-coupe to be called ‘CC’
Volkswagen’s premium four door pseudo-coupe model will simply be called CC when it goes on sale next quarter, and not the full Passat CC as previously thought. The original name came about because the CC rides on the same platform as the regular Passat sedan, although it sits some 5cm lower and stretches more than 3cm. The new name appeared on the official Volkswagen site for the car along with several new images and interior details. Some of the new features include an electrically actuated panoramic...

2009 / 2012 Volkswagen New Beetle - Sneak Preview 2008
At first glance, a second-generation New Beetle doesn't make a lot of sense. After all, Volkswagen's German masters never wanted to build the current one. The original air-cooled Bug isn't remembered as fondly over there as it is here. The animosity was such that VW's U.S. designers worked on it in secret, and it was only after their Concept 1 was slipped quietly onto the Detroit auto show floor in 1994 and met with an explosive public response that management agreed to build the car. Even so, Germans...

The new Golf Plus retains the body of the current model but its front end will be completely restyled to match the new Mark VI. This means that it will feature the same generous proportions of the current model, with a 1,580mm roof and a slightly longer...

Road Test: Volkswagen Passat CC
The Passat CC is Volkswagen's dishy new coupé version of the dull as dishwater saloon. But not every model is a motoring coup I drove a Mercedes-Benz CLS last Monday. It always seemed a ludicrously indulgent car on which to spend a manufacturer's development and marketing budgets, as it is broadly an E-Class saloon with a side view shaped like a banana, less room inside and some more exotic mechanical parts. But buyers love it, because it looks like a concept car. They can drive a little bit of...
