Dale's Not Up on the Up!
Automotive writer Dale Jewett has described Volkswagen's city car concept Up! as not generating any excitement. However I take exception to that. The Up!, in my option, is a promising beginning of a whole new lineup of small, rear engined vehicles. Frankfurt saw the two door, but other auto shows may see a four door sedan, wagon and convertible variants. While some folks may dismiss the Up! and Toyota's IQ as "Me Two" responses to smart's fortwo, but I believe that although smart hasn't exactly reaped in profits, this segment of cars will play an important role in the next 10 years. I haven't been as "up" on a Volkswagen concept in quite awhile.
