    Meet Volkswagen's New MQB Platform

    William Maley

    Editor/Reporter - CheersandGears.com

    February 1, 2012

    Volkswagen showed their most important new platform, named MQB (a German acronym for “Modular Transverse Matrix”) today at their Wolfsburg HQ. MQB will underpin as many as 60 different vehicles of all different shapes and sizes.

    MQB brings forth many advantages for the next generation of Volkswagen vehicles. First, MQB brings a uniform mounting position for all available engines. MQB also allows current alternative fuels to work as well.

    MQB also allows Volkswagen to tailor vehicles to specific markets in a more cost effective manner. The cost reduction will help grow Volkswagen market share in emerging markets.

    MQB will make its debut in the new Audi A3 and Volkswagen Mk.7 Golf.

      Agree on Stellantis.  We can hope on Tariffs, and the economy is going to crater.

      FYI - Anyone that says we are not heading into a bad recession if not full depression is drinking way too much MAGA Cool aid.  US layoffs for October surge to two-decade high, Challenger data shows Appears ICE is using facial recognition software to determine if they should arrest you. ICE's use of smartphones to determine citizenship could trigger the next constitutional crisis This I would agree with would be a boon for everyone, but the auto industry especially. A ruling striking down Trump's tariffs would be like rocket fuel for stocks

      This is so cool, a real review of the G90 luxury car from Genesis. Cool technology.

      As one that was raised on support America first, the current incompetent leadership has changed that for ever for me. I will no longer worry about companies here that do not care about the consumer when others do a better job. Let the best products win and while my heart strings pull for some of the history of past models, the future is where it is and I will move. This place is building lovely new auto's Cannot go wrong with this baby! They are nailing it with their concepts and I hope they bring them to production.

      Well done review of GM and Mary is on the right track even though adjustments due to Idiot47 is needed, my only problem with GM is their lack of AA/CP support which their platform does support as proven by the excellent made Honda Prologue.  GM needs to stop attempting to nickel and dime every buyer via their choices of what one can do via the play store and monthly payments to use the navigation system that was built into the auto. If a legacy will survive, I can see GM over Ford. Stellantis is dead to me as is the American name plates they own, never will buy another product from them.
