BRIGHTER IN BOLOGNA.(NEWS)
Byline: MICHAEL TAYLOR
THE MOTOR SHOW IN THE ancient Italian university city of Bologna somehow managed to avoid the doom and gloom pervading the car world. Bologna has a unique consumeroriented feel, with small, scattered halls and five test tracks, so visitors can drive what they see.
That is great for regular Giuseppes, but it usually means its concept-car ranks are thin. There rarely is a shortage of sexy stuff, though, because Lamborghini, Maserati and Ferrari all are within a 30-minute drive. Given that, you'd think an Italian automaker or design house would take center stage, but it was Germany's Volkswagen that stole the show. The bling was the Scirocco Studie R, a bewinged Scirocco on 19-inch wheels, built to celebrate the car's class win in the Nurburgring 24-hour race in July.
More significant was the Passat Ecofuel dual-fuel concept. The supercharged and turbocharged 1.4-liter four-cylinder engine can run on either gasoline or natural gasand it gets 52 mpg on natural gas.
