Part of the Volkswagen 5-year plan will include a new roadster, to be based off the mid-engine Concept R (pictured above). Wolfgang Bernhard's (VW Chairman) plans for 20 new vehicles over the next several years include the roadster as well as a coupe-style sedan. The first attempt at the VW roadster was nixed in 2005 when it resulted in competition with Porsche Boxter pricing. The next round will likely have a lower MSRP, making its debut sometime in 2009.
