No, this is not a repeat post. Volkswagen is debuting the CrossBlue Concept ... again; only this time, the crossover is not blue, it's not big and bulky, and it's actually an attractive vehicle. Like the previous concept, this one has front and rear motors that get juice from a 9.8-kWh lithium-ion battery. That works with a 295hp, direct-injection V6 and a six-speed DSG transmission. That's good for 0-62 in 5.9 seconds and a top speed of 147 mph. This will run on pure electric for only 21 miles, but it's certainly a hell of a lot better-looking with it's much lower, streamlined stance.
