Both Autoblog Green and Zer Customs have nice galleries combining renderings and actual shots of the Volkswagen Up!, VW's new concept car that recently debuted at Frankfurt. Visually the Up! looks something like a Beetle combined with a Rabbit, though mechanically it's got more in common with the original version of the former car; the engine is rear-mounted. The 11.3-foot-long four-seater is expected to retail for between eight and nine grand US, with gussied-up versions being sold in advanced markets and more stripped-down versions for sale in developing markets. Nice to see VW getting back to their roots.
