  | Volkswagen to debut four new models in Frankfurt?  Germany only gets its own top-tier international auto show every other year, with the Frankfurt Motor Show alternating with the Paris salon. So when the circus rolls into town, you can bet Germany's giant auto industry will embrace the opportunity to reveal their latest. Audi's tipped to unveil its A5 Sportback and revised A8, Mercedes is expected to unveil its new E-Class Cabrio, BMW the new X1 and 5-Series GT/Progressive Activity Sedan... even Opel is anticipated to unveil its new Astra in Frankfurt. But according to the latest reports, Volkswagen is preparing to upstage them all with four new models. First up is the Robust pick-up truck recently spied undergoing testing at the Nurburgring. A more versatile version of VW's midsize hatchback called the Golf Variant is tipped to join the show stage, too. But the real excitement is in the pair of hot hatches set to make their debuts in Frankfurt. The Golf R is anticipated to pack a 265-hp 2.0-liter TFSI with all the trimmings, while a mini-Scirocco based on the Polo could also be in the cards, packing a 180-hp 1.4-liter four. Of course, it's entirely possible that one or more of these could drop off the card for the upcoming show in September, but either way, Volkswagen looks set to make a big splash in Frankfurt this year, and of course we'll be on hand to catch it all for you.

| It's a car that only uses 1l per 100kms. Fancy material to keep the weight at just 290kg (even the wheels are carbon), 8.5hp out of a mono-cylinder 300cc direct-injection diesel engine, 100km/h max. 2 seats. The lower price of carbon compared to 2002 will allow VW to sell a super-eco car like that sooner than previously planned.

| He averaged 0.87l/100 km during that drive... And even a Veyron doesn't get carbon-fiber wheels.

| Oh I had forgotten the A2. It had ASF if I recall correctly, and a premium price tag. Cool design, but I don't think it sold quite well...
