Volkswagen is support the phrase and, hopefully, garner marketshare, with the development of a new inexpensive mid-engined sports car.

Speculation says that the unnamed vehicle will include a four cylinder engine, will be lightweight -- less than 1,000 kilograms -- and will include several components like the steering, brakes and electronics from other VW vehicles. This is meant to keep manufacturing costs down. .
