VW up!: The inside story

Great article here about the VW up!. Make sure to read!

Why will the front-engined VW Up cost so much less?

In R&D and procurement costs alone, VW insiders tell us they will slash €400m (£320m) from the bill. Add to that greater economies of scale, reduced investment in tooling and greater production flexibility, and a further €350m (£280) rolls off the cash register.
