IAA Frankfurt 2011 and VW Up
Do you want try and sit into Bentley, Porsche, Bentley on IAA 2011? No problem. You will be in troubles if you are looking forward to try Volkswagen Up! No car took so big attention as the newcomer from VW under 10000 Euro.
The first impression is good - Up! looks simply easy. The designers Walter de Silva a Klaus Bischof just made bodyshell with few moves from a block. The priority was an interior space and aerodynamics with coefficient 0.32. But the space on rear seats is not enough for 180cm tall person behind the same tall driver. Nothing surprising in this category level. Even VW is not a magic man.
