Going after the small end of the market, VW is reportedly set to take advantage of its <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2009\/12\/09\/officially-official-vw-and-suzuki-tie-the-knot\/\">new 19.9 percent share<\/a> of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/make\/suzuki\/\">Suzuki<\/a> and swiping the lovable little SX4 as the basis of a new model tentatively dubbed Rocktan. <\/p>\n<p>Positioned as a city-sized crossover, the Rocktan theoretically slots in between the similarly tiny <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/02\/19\/volkswagen-crosspolo-to-join-gti-in-geneva\/\">CrossPolo<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/model\/tiguan\">Tiguan<\/a>, though this is all unconfirmed at this point. Power will apparently not be from Suzuki, but rather from VW, likely the 1.4-liter TSI gasoline engine and 1.6- and 2.0-liter TDI diesels. This could be mere grist for the rumormill, or we could soon see a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/03\/31\/Nissan-Juke-2011-new-york-auto-show-debut-cuv\/\">Nissan Juke<\/a>-sized VolkZuki. For now, all we&#8217;ve got are dreams of another flavor of the friendly SX4. <\/p>\n<p>[Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mibz.com\/11296-volkswagen-rocktan-based-on-suzuki-sx-4-leaked.html\">Mibz.com<\/a>]<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/05\/21\/rendered-speculation-suzuki-sx4-based-vw-rocktan-conjured-up\/\">Rendered Speculation: Suzuki SX4-based VW &#8216;Rocktan&#8217; conjured up<\/a> originally appeared on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\">Autoblog<\/a> on Fri, 21 May 2010 17:59:00 EST.
