It seems that the VW Group will do just about anything to become the world�s biggest automaker by 2018. After announcing a �51.6 billion (US $70.3 billion) investment plan last November, the Germans also want to showcase their future intentions at the Geneva Motor Show in March, by displaying up to seven concepts.
Walter de Silva, head of the group�s design department, told ANE that the concept lineup will include Seat, Skoda and Volkswagen models, plus �one � if not two� Audis.
Furthermore, the Italdesign Giugiaro design studio, acquired by the automaker last spring, will also present two Volkswagen concept cars.
Seeing this kind of commitment, one has to wonder what exactly has Volkswagen is store for us. With the Golf Mk7 said debut in late 2012 or early 2013, we're inclined to say that it�s too early for a design study and the same goes for the next generation Audi A3, due for a release in the summer of 2012. While the manufacturer did say that it wants to expand its North American SUV lineup, information on the subject is scarce, so we wouldn�t bet on an SUV concept either.
In any case, if you have an opinion on the matter, now is the time to share it with us in the comments section below.
