VW: 4 new vehicles planned

The plans for 4 new vehicles from 4 new product segments were unveiled to dealers in the US July 15 by Wolfgang Bernhard who heads the global VW brand in Wolfsburg, Germany.

Bernhard brought down the house at the annual dealer meeting in Dallas, taking the wraps off three vehicles and showing pictures of a fourth.

The four models on the way are:

1. A 2+2 convertible with an electric foldaway roof that would be a halo vehicle.

2. A small SUV to compete with the Jeep Liberty and Honda CR-V.

3. A seven-seat minivan - a year after VW killed plans to build the Microbus minivan.

4. A four-door "coupe" similar to the Mercedes-Benz CLS that would be placed above the Passat sedan.

All four vehicles will be introduced by the end of 2007, says Bob Grace, chairman of the dealer council and owner of Southpoint Volkswagen in Baton Rouge, LA.
