• 2012 Volkswagen CC: This upscale version of the standard Passat will get a midcycle refresh in 2011.

• 2012 Volkswagen Eos: After several years on the market with only minor upgrades, the Volkswagen Eos is expected to get a more significant refresh for the 2012 model year.

• 2013 Volkswagen Golf: Redesigned for 2010, the Volkswagen Golf won't get a significant refresh until the 2013 model year. At that time, Volkswagen may add a plug-in hybrid version of the Golf to the lineup.

• 2013 Volkswagen GTI: All-new for 2010, the Volkswagen GTI won't get a significant refresh until the 2013 model year.

• 2011 Volkswagen Jetta: An all-new Jetta will arrive in the fall of 2010. Designed for the North American market, the new Jetta will be bigger in most dimensions than the current model.
• 2013 Volkswagen Jetta Hybrid: A plug-in hybrid version of the next-generation Jetta is planned for production by 2012.

• 2011 Volkswagen New Beetle: After a decade on the market, the Volkswagen Beetle will finally get a full redesign for the 2011 model year. Expected to go on sale in the spring of 2011 in the U.S., this Beetle will be slightly bigger than the current model.

• 2012 Volkswagen Passat: A fully redesigned version of the Volkswagen Passat will arrive in the spring of 2011. Like the new Jetta, this Passat was designed for the U.S. market so expect larger dimensions inside and out.

• 2012 Volkswagen Polo: This subcompact hatchback has been on sale for years in Europe. The latest version may finally make its way to the States as Volkswagen sees a larger potential market for cars of its size.

• 2012 Volkswagen Routan: With sales slow, Volkswagen may give the Routan a midcycle update sometime in 2011.

• 2013 Volkswagen Tiguan: A redesign of the Tiguan is expected to arrive by 2012.

• 2011 Volkswagen Touareg: The second-generation Volkswagen Touareg was unveiled at the 2010 Geneva Auto Show and is expected to go on sale in the U.S. by the end of the year. A Touareg hybrid will also be part of the lineup.
