VW unveiled the new Compact Coupe in Detroit.   This is a full hybrid based ont he Golf/Jetta platform.  I think this is a pretty sharp car.   Definately very BMW 3 Series feeling, but overall I think this could be a killer... IF... they offer it with some real motors.   Sure the hybrids will keep the tree huggers happy, but the enthusiasts will want to see some performance.  How about the 3.0 Supercharges TSFI ??? :)   dont think we will get that luck, but at least the 2.0T would be nice.   For your VW parts like VW Control Arms, check out aboveallmotorwerks.com.

Despite what most manufacturers would classify as the worst auto buying economy in history, VW has left most in their dust posting Dec 2009 to Dec 2008 increase of 16%.  Overall, sales were down 4% for the year, but this is astonishing given the current state of most other auto manufacturers.   A key to VW's success is providing a quality product as a price point folks can afford.  This carries into the aftermarket as well, allowing folks to acquire VW Parts through outlets like Above All Motorwerks at astonishing prices.  VW Control Arms, Suspension, & brakes are all popular among the youger crown looking to keep their VW exciting.

Will it be an M1?   The name has typically been reserved for the much heralded supercar of the past, but BMW's M Division is reporting that they indend to build a M car based on the current 1 series platform.   350 hp, upgraded suspension, and reduce weight will separate this from the current 135i.   I would love to see this arrive in the states.   Time will tell.  BMW Parts for your one series like BMW Air Mass Sensors, Control Arms, etc can be found at AboveAllMotorwerks.com.
