Is the Logan going to be the 21st century VW?

World sales in 2007/08 is expected to top 1 million units. Many configurations and motorizations are already available. Starting as low as $6k (to $12K for the 5-door better equipped version) the Logan will be a success in fast growing markets such Argentina, Brazil, Venezuela, India, Russia and China.

Assembly plants are going up in most of the above stated countries and in Eastern Europe.
