The new 2012 VW up! "So far VW has announced all-new 3-cylinder gasoline and natural gas engines plus a future all-electric power train (2013) with power up to 75hp and with economy of 56 mpg in the gasoline engines. Curiously, TDI Clean Diesel options have not been announced yet."



Looks a lot like the Fiat 500. The "City Emergency Braking" is interesting.

I like the interior. The seats are cool and the painted pieces are classic VW.

 

It looks pretty neat

 

I agree, the interior is very sporty and enjoyable. It seems kind of concept though, I wonder if the production model will keep the painted dash and pieces.

 

I'd rather the Fiat

 

I'm not a fan of the tiny little death traps on wheels that pass for street legal cars. They make a Mini look like a Hummer. The VW Up! gets thumbs down from me. But maybe it's because I'm 6' and 230 lbs. I also think calling it Up! is a bad idea. Too easy to add to that name.

 

If you watch The Car Show, they had a segment on a big man in a little car. And the Fiat 500 won

 

The fiat is a real nice car i looked at one at a car show recently
