VW Microbus livesuagain
Volkswagen is once again resurrecting the Microbus, this time as inspiration for a lifestyle vehicle aimed at the North American market.
Volkswagen had planned to reintroduce a stylish re-creation of the original Microbus in 2005, but the program was canceled because of spiraling costs and a weakening U.S. dollar. But now, VW management has renewed efforts to build the Microbus in some form. One proposal is to base the car on the company's front-wheel-drive midsize sedan chassis that will be produced in Tennessee starting in 2011.
ZR1 tops $200,000uin Europe
Chevrolet's 2009 Corvette ZR1 will sticker for twice as much in Europe as it will in the United States. Dutch importer Kroymans, which handles Corvette sales in Europe, said the ZR1 will have a sticker price of e136,000. At current exchange rates, that equals $214,146.64, more than double the car's $105,000 sticker in the United States.
GM expects to export 70 ZR1s to Europe this year and about 150 units in a full year. Last year, Corvette sales totaled 1,244 units in Europe.
