Paul, no flat four in VW's plans, that was a mis-reading by the jalopnik staff. The original press release mentioned the historic flat four engine and that was picked up as flat 4 coming in new models. see original quote: ...The heart of this sensationally flexible City Expert will beat where the flat-four "Boxer" engine once did in the Beetle. ..." see www.jalopnik.com for the latest in the Frankfurt autoshow, including the VW Up!

I wonder if it will make it to North America? Could be a space efficient small car if they do it well.....hopefully this engine is designed better than the one used in Vanagons... http://tinyurl.com/237qvp
