    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.

      At 57 with grandkids, my days of motorbikes and scooters are over, I promised the wife I would not take risks at this stage in life. Like @A Horse With No Name living my best life with the kids and their families out hiking, skiing, seeing the world and being active.

      Talk of S1 and M1 made me think you were discussing Audis and BMWs until I realized it was about locomotives.   A couple rail museums down in Tuscarawas County, Ohio where I grew up that I've visited that are worth a visit are the Age of Steam Roundhouse in Sugarcreek and the Dennison Depot Museum in Dennison.  https://ageofsteamroundhouse.org/?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=1758318224&gbraid=0AAAAAC5_5odMY_5GWNlWr1gR7xS2mRgRS&gclid=Cj0KCQiAiKzIBhCOARIsAKpKLAM4aibjFEFgI-02HvXmq9p8cTyzyJJPXaxAyOfLMhQFCxbE-sotjvkaAh8TEALw_wcB and https://dennisondepot.org

      I've honestly had as much or more fun riding my scooters than I did my motorcycles. It's just fun driving the absolute snot out of them and hardly breaking any speed limits(or not even breaking any speed limits) whereas it's far too easy to speed on a motorcycle.  I've had a 1995 Yamaha Jog (not my picture but it looked identical). 50cc 2-stroke.  A 2012 Honda PCX125. But before both scooters I had a 2005 Yamaha FZ6. Then a 2007 Triumph Daytona 675. While both bikes were great and I loved my time on them. The scooters were just easier and safer to have fun on.

      Do you mean the PRR M1?  They were absolute beasts. Not purdy, but all muscle. Even when diesels were coming online, the heaviest trains were still given to the M1. One M1b has been saved and is in storage, though it will never run again.    The tender from another M1 has been saved and will be the tender for the new PRR T-1 5550 that is being constructed by the T-1 Trust
