New Volkswagen Electric Car Concept and Jetta Hybrid Headed to Detroit Show

While a little overdue to the celebration, the VW Team programs to make up for its bad existence in the electrical and multiple car area with a onslaught of eco-friendly versions within the next year or so.

At the future 2012 Detroit Auto Show, the VW company will raise the protects off a never before seen genuine electrical idea car and the edition of the Jetta Hybrid, according to the Detroit Free Press.

The document says that the electrical car research will not be depending on any present generation design with VW phoning it "pure concept" - at least for now.

The new Jetta Hybrid, however, will be a frequent generation design and is planned to appear in VW's South United states showrooms next Nov. It will evidently be operated by 1.4-liter turbocharged energy powerplant (not to be puzzled with the Western 1.4 TSI that uses both a turbo- and a super-charger) packaged to an generator unit.

According to the Detroit Free Press, VW said that the Jetta Hybrid is "meant to immediately task the Toyota Prius' popularity of the U.S. multiple market."

Report: Chrysler’s Sebring replacement to be named Nassau

Flash back to the 2007 Detroit Auto Show and sitting on the Chrysler stand was the Nassau concept. Nothing ever came of the angular five-door, but some of the elements that debuted on the show car eventually worked their way onto the Sebring. That connection stands to be revived with a report by the Detroit Free Press that the Sebring’s replacement will carry the Nassau name when the all-new midsize sedan goes on sale within the next two years.

The concept’s sleek lines aren’t likely to inspire the Nassau, but considering Chrysler purchased the name, it’s fair game and will help to put Chrysler’s lackluster sedan out of the public consciousness.

Chrysler hasn’t official confirmed the name yet, but when the Nassau goes on sale – likely in 2012 – it will be joined by the refreshed Dodge Avenger, with a thoroughly revised interior and a choice of either a 2.4-liter four-cylinder or Chrysler’s new Pentastar V6.
