Volkswagen up! wins Autocar's Concept Car of the Year

The Volkswagen up! and its variant the Space up! and another that will be unveiled at the Los Angeles Auto Show later this week has won the Concept Car of the Year award from Autocar magazine.

Autocar editor Charles Hallett said the up! was "a brilliant concept car – but, importantly, a concept car that will become a reality. We like to think of it as a 21st Century Beetle – a stylish car that will provide affordable motoring for all, both here and in the developing world."

VW has been pretty tight lipped about the upcoming up! variant that will be unveiled at the Los Angeles Auto Show this week. But what thing's for sure. It whould be a head turner. Look for updates later this week.
