Possible rendering of the new VW Smart challenger
Last month we brought you a report that Volkswagen was developing a city car to challenge the Smart ForTwo. At the time it was reported that the new car would be smaller than the current Fox but would still be a four seater. Now Auto-Bild has rendering of what the new car look like. Like the Smart, the "Lupo II" would appear to be rear engined, but would be about 11.5 ft long. The base version would be stripped down, but all kinds of extra features would be incorporated via modular production techniques to keep the manufacturing cost down. Presumably, a diesel version will be available as well.

Americans are ready for this kind of product. This is a beautiful,agressive looking car with four seats, that with a diesel engine could get 50+ mpg. If smart can establish any kind of toehold in this market VW would do well to give us this car.
