According to a recent VW press release, the company's "City Expert" prototype may feature an engine in the trunk. Ahh, a return to sanity!<br /><span name="intelliTxt" id="intelliTXT"><span id="ctl00_middleContent_summary"><blockquote>“the heart of this sensationally flexible City Expert will beat where the flat-four "Boxer" engine once did, in the Beetle”</blockquote></span></span><br /><span name="intelliTxt" id="intelliTXT"><span id="ctl00_middleContent_summary"><br /></span></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_yMeB6-ZluUQ/R5tHU5Tyo2I/AAAAAAAAACg/HJpIjz4QS50/s1600-h/City+Expert.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_yMeB6-ZluUQ/R5tHU5Tyo2I/AAAAAAAAACg/HJpIjz4QS50/s400/City+Expert.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5159796222389822306" border="0" /></a><br />The complete press release and more details on the City Expert can be found after the jump.<br /><br /><a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2007/08/vw-city-expert-concept-rear-engined.html">VW City Expert Concept</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9091979161654447895-1764406485803239871?l=oldbugs.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>guy behind the guynoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9091979161654447895.post-52749034187290720282007-12-18T06:29:00.000-08:002008-01-26T06:36:42.595-08:00This is a pretty tricked-up bug.

The custom hood really makes this design look as though this was a truck that would have been an excellent fit with other trucks of its era.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.curtisonline.net/gallery/d/393-2/bug_truck02.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px;" src="http://www.curtisonline.net/gallery/d/393-2/bug_truck02.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9091979161654447895-409654029282074473?l=oldbugs.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>guy behind the guynoreply@blogger.com0
