Updates

Some updates on stories I've posted here:

Volkswagen of America president Stefan Jacoby recently spoke to Crain's Automotive news and confirmed that a model smaller than the coming sixth-generation Golf will be added to Volkswagen's U.S. and Canadian lineups. It won't be the Polo that's now on sale, but it will be related to it. It should be something like a real Polo, in my humble opinion, as long as it's a real Volkswagen. The Golf will continue to be priced as an entry-level car in the U.S./Canadian market, under $19,000, as VW doesn't have its cheaper SEAT and Škoda brands available here even as the VW brand becomes a medium-priced brand back home.

Meanwhile, the new midsized VW to be built in Tennessee will be between the Jetta and Passat, and go more more directly against the Toyota Camry and the Honda Accord.

Also, on Patrick Little's Family Web site: Much of the information contained on that since-discontinued page has since been transferred to Family Bandstand at www.familybandstand.com. It's a more streamlined site, and updates are available. If you've seen my record review site for the British band, you need to go to this site as well. :-)
