Since this is my 1000th post, I thought what better way to get to the professional tag than a car that truly threatens to end Suzuki's dominance over this segment and redefine the VW India brand.
This car may open UP! a new space for VW India and establish them among the volume players IF it is successful.
Sorry if I sound a VW fanboy or biased, but I am not.(I prefer the sister company, Skoda)
It is just that I hate Suzuki a little too much.
Here is what World Car Fans, who spied the car had to write.

Here are the latest set of spy shots of a Volkswagen Up! test mule - with the Up! chassis fitted to a shortened wheelbase Polo.
The Up! will be Volkswagen's new city/minicar and will come in a slew of variants including a 3-door hatch, a slightly longer 5-door hatch, and an all-electric version.
The electric-variant E-Up! will come with a 60 kW electric motor producing 210 Nm of torque. Othe variants will likely feature VW's small diesel and petrol/gasoline power plant lineup including its 1.2 liter TDI and 1.2 liter TSI engines.
The Up! is slated to debut sometime in 2011. The E-Up! is not expected to make it to market until 2013.
