Volkswagen Lamando Unveiled in China

Volkswagen has introduced the Lamando at the Chengdu Auto Show in China. Considering the spy shots doing the rounds on the internet, we are sure this is the production version of the company's New Midsize Coupe (NMC).
The NMC concept was first introduced at the Beijing MotorShow and the production version is called the Lamando. The Lamando is based on Volkswagen's MQB platform so it shares many of the internals with the seventh generation Golf.
The car will be manufactured locally by the Shanghai-Volkswagen joint venture and will go on sale this November. The company has not yet let out whether the car will be available in any of the global markets soon, but we are sure that India will see the Lamando soon.

Ameya chose cars over Shakespeare and has been in love with the Porsche 917, ever since he first laid his eyes on it. Cars are not just a mode of transport for him, but a passion, as can be seen in the way he talks about them. He believes - respect your car and the feeling will be reciprocated. He enjoys driving, which is probably a given, but its a stress buster, which is why he enjoys his job even more.
