Although Volkswagen is the most recalled automaker of 2007, the German manufacturer is still pressing ahead to grab as much market share as possible. The latest development over at VW is the possible creation of a "Small Family" lineup of RWD vehicles. The kicker is that prices will start at under 8,000 Euros. That works out to about $11,000!

Production of the new minicars will being in 2010, likely utilizing the Skoda plant in Vrchlabi, within the Czech Republic, with 100,000 vehicles destined for Europe sporting the Volkswagen badge, and another 100,000 wearing Skoda and Seat logos. Variants of the uber-compact three-door are expected to come in at about 3500mm long, sporting a price tag under 8,000 Euros, with a five-door version, stretched by 80mm and priced around 9,450 Euros.
