VW BlueSport Concept

[Galaxy]

It`s been a few weeks since the Detroit show but since no one posted it, I thought I would.

The roadster is mid engined and based on the new modular transverse plattform.














Pictures from VWVortex.


Except for the interior it looks production ready. I prefer this to the Concept R.

Now build it!

[the Teuton]

Baby Porsche maybe?

[Cookie Monster]

Lovely!

I want to see a coupe though, with better wheels.

[280Z Turbo]

Yes, yes, yes.

Build it. I'll take two.

[the Teuton]

Too far of a stretch?

It looks very production ready.  I like it.

[Eye of the Tiger]

That either weighs 4000 lbs, or 2000 lbs. It's hard to get a sense of how big it is in the pictures.

[Payman]

Love it, but the market just isn't there for this car. The Eos isn't selling too well, so I doubt this will make production.

Holy shit that looks fugly.

It will be a good competitor for the 370Z/S2000.

If it's 4000 lbs, then that chick must be 6'8".

The Eos is in that price range (but not performance). To make it, this car should be a Miata/Solstice/Sky competitor.

Maybe this will replace the Eos.

This is what the Eos should've been. IMO they should make a hardtop version and have it as a cheap Boxster/Cayman alternative.

[Payman]

This would be perfect if it had the 2.0T, weighed 2500 lb, and cost <$24,000.

Yes.

Probably won't happen though.

[Eye of the Tiger]

The sparkly one? Yeah, she's either 6'8", or 4'8"

[Payman]

Mebbe she's 5'8", and the car is 3000lb.

[Eye of the Tiger]

Dood... you just blew my mind

No, 5'10" and 3200.

In an interview, the head of R&D at VW said they want to tarket the MX-5. That probably means at least slightly more expensive then an MX-5.

[giant_mtb]

Whoah.  That's too sporty and cool-looking to be a VW.  I like it.  It will probably be way overpriced, though.

[2o6]

Holy shit that looks fugly.

Looks aside, If the PT and Pronto Spyder were given to Plymouth, chrysler could possibly not be in the poisition is now. Would be nice to see a Domestic MR car.




Besides, you can't compare an MR sports car, to a FWD compact coupe with a folding metal top. The Eos is more comparable to a Focus CC or Opel Tigra. This is more like a Solstice or Vauxhall VX220.

And GM announced a while back that they have no intention of producing a 2nd gen Kappa car.  The Skystice are lame ducks riding out their final years of production before they become a footnote in GM history.

Hydroformed rails.  Why GM ever thought that process was going to get really cheap after awhile, I have no idea.

Nearly everything GM does has people scratching their heads.  Don't act too surprised. 

[Onslaught]

Have to just be the 370Z seeing that Honda says the S2000 is dead after 09.

It looks ok but I just don't see them making it with the way things are these days.

[Catman]

Looks like fun.

[MidnightDave]

It looks like they grabbed styling cues from each of their competitors, but I still like it.

Smaller cars are definitely in these days, maybe we'll get lucky and they will build it?

[FlatBlackCaddy]

Looks great

Keep it around 2900 lbs with a 250-270HP 2.0T in it and it would be awesome.

I look forward to never seeing it in production, or even if it makes production never hitting our shores.

The sky/solstice could have been world class and known around the world as one of if not the best performance bargain. All it would take is consistant improvement and updates over a few generations. With that in mind GM better kill it quick so that doesn't happen.

*GM spokesman

Here at GM our team is dedicated to bring you the best. If at first we don't succeed we will try, try and ahh fuck it lets just toss this one into the bin.
