Volkswagen likely bring Space up! to US


Volkswagen seems to have all this up! business figured out. During the Tokyo Motor Show from last week, Volkswagen revealed that the Space up! is more likely a better fit for Americans because it's larger than the up! Concept that came before it at Frankfurt.

Take from those comments what you may, Volkswagen is definitely considering this vehicle for our consumption. It is important to stress that no decision has been made about whether or not any iterations of the up! will reach production. But Volkswagen sure has received very positive feedback about it so it's almost a shoe in. Don't forget that there's also another concept that is set to be unveiled at the LA Motor Show next month. All we know about this model is that it will be all electric.

Personally, I think that the concept in LA will be a minivan from which the Bulli will be based off. In many respects, the up! already has the design cues that could make a good Camper revival. And now that we've seen a two- and four-door, four-seater up!, What else could the up! concept in LA be?
