Four-door coupe will not be shown in Geneva

Volkswagen's forthcoming four-door coupe was originally slated to be unveiled during the Geneva Motor Show in March. Those plans now seem to have been changed, according to a Volkswagen official. Instead, a concept car of the four-door coupe will be shown.

The yet to be named model will be slotted between the Phaeton and the Passat and will duke it out with the Mercedes Benz CLS, the only other model that is marketed as a four-door coupe. Volkswagen plans to undercut the CLS by offering the same package for less.

With this setback, the foor-door coupe is now slated to enter the market in the second half of the year, with an unveiling sometime in late Summer.
