    Volkswagen's MQB Platform Will Be Around For Two More Generations

      MQB is sticking around for awhile

    Volkswagen's brand chief Herbert Diess revealed in an interview this past weekend that the modular MQB platform with some minor tweaks will underpin the next two generations of their vehicles.

    "The MQB has high technical substance, so we can use it for the next two vehicle generations without further major investments," Diess told German newspaper Boersen-Zeitung. 

    This move is in an effort to save a bit of cash due to the fallout of the diesel emission scandal. Diess didn't say what kind of tweaks would be done.

    MQB currently underpins a number of Volkswagen vehicles in the world. In the U.S., the entire Volkswagen Golf lineup and upcoming Atlas crossover.

    Totally understand this move as with the Gas cheat issues now, they are going ot be hurting for cash big time over the next 10-20 years and people are going to be reluctant to buy their cars so cash is going to be very tight. Executives who can rebuild their cash pile will be the winner at VW corp HQ.

    • He has hair.  I do not.  But Im better looking than he is. By a looooooong shot.  If in fact the FBI found who D.B. Cooper really is, the guy truly is one ugly mofo.  He was in his 20s but looked like he was in his 40s back then and why it took the FBI that long to figure out who the phoque he was.   They would have had caught him 50 years ago and not now with the help of his kids... I, on the other hand, Im in my 50s but Im one good lookin' SOB now and I was oh soooooo  adoreable then in my 20s. I never had a hard time finding dates.  
    • I'm not getting this one.  I didn't know it could be a PNW person and I've lived there. The photo on the right looks like it might be a relative of the late Sean Connery.   * scratching my head *
    • As so am I. Despite me ranting on the other thread, I find our common love for this as a great thing.  Looks like Ill be a Formula One fan once again.  I used to watch it in the 1990s when local boy Jacques Villeneuve was racing.  Now I have a different reason to watch. My love for GM and Ford.  Glad we share that same sentiment!  That and your St Louis Blues team keeps on taking Bruins talent.  Tory Krug and now former head coach Jim Montgomery becoming your head coach.  David Backes on the flip side... Jim Montgomery went to the same highschool as I did.  We did roam the same halls together AT the same TIME but sadly, I do not know him.  I was on the highschool hockey team. He was not. I guess he was too good for a humble highschool hockey team... 
    • Ok...Ill apologize then. Not because of your post, but because I ranted when I should have ignored.  Im a tad pissed off with the American delusion and fascination with larger than life criminals and celebrity adoration. Im pissed off with the American justice system for the same delusional and fascination with larger than life criminals and celebrity adoration the DOJ also seem to have.   And its not jst the politicians that dont have the demos (common people), but the American demos themselves not giving a shyte about themselves and BLAMING their politicians for behaving that way but the American demos ENABLING greedy and corrupt politicians to eventually continue phoquing them...   *sigh* The DOJ could have come to sentence 2 bloody months ago when Trump was found guilty of the 37 accounts of fraud in his criminal case in NYC involving banks.  And THAT would mena a prison sentence of whatever years.  The January 6 case could have been pushed forward as SOON as he was NO LONGER president and he would have been charged with treason and possibly given a hanging but nope, nothing there.  And lastly but not leastly, it does NOT matter what the guilty verdicts in court by a jury of his peers would have done, but American people VOTED in a KNOWN criminal...from waaaaaay before his courth case of THIS year. He is a known common fraudster since the 1980s...    MANY of these voters were mesmerized by speeches of rascism and blatant inequality and all kinds of things that is the OPPOSITE of what America is all about INCLUDING JUSTICE FOR ALL... So...do NOT tell me that politicians, ALL of them are bad... because it seems that Americans all they want is the BAD politicians...   You phoquers keep on voting them in.    Please do NOT tell me that Harris is as bad of a crook as Trump is.  She might be a politician that might not care for you...Ill give you that. But she is definetely NOT a fraud, crook and traitor...  When Donald J. Trump finally phoques your country up for good and sells your freedoms for his wealth, and possibly mine as a Canadian, because he will put a wedge between our countries and other dictators from other countries will see this divide and further exploit this divide, please dont tell me that ALL politicians dont care for us and that they are all bad.   THAT does not fly with me.  And please please PLEASE do NOT whine that after what Donnie has done to it, please please PLEASE do NOT say "how did that happen?" or "it was the democrats fault"...    
    • Since the late 1950's most presidents have shared their tax returns for the last few years and education information allowing the public to view if they are competent and deemed educated enough to handle the job of President. Idiot 47 / 45 has refused to allow anything to be reviewed about his life and I would have to say this is probably based on his own criminal nature, lawsuits lost that he still tries to overturn and his blatant disregard for our laws, constitution, etc. Most voters have not ever paid attention to the education validation and tax returns, but with Idiot he has brought this on himself by trying to hid everything behind lawyers who many have lost their ability to be a lawyer due to lying for him. Why would anyone risk their own integrity for such a buffoon is beyond me, one can only hope that he truly goes 6 feet under asap as I think many can then better deal with the idiot vp he choose. Nice, Nice self-portrait olds   Sarcasm, yes I know our famous PNW person.
