Volkswagen executives are trying to pump up the company's 700-plus North American dealers, sponsoring a drive in the redesigned 2011 Jetta, a tour of the company's new Chattanooga, Tennessee, plant and a peek at several future models, including the 2013 Golf Blue e-Motion.

VW also confirmed that it will launch four new or refreshed models next year in North America, including a Passat replacement dubbed NMS (for "New Midsize Sedan"), as well as updates of the Beetle, Eos and Tiguan.

For model year 2011, it has introduced the new Jetta and a redesigned Touareg.

The automaker will start assembling the 2012 NMS next year at the $1 billion Chattanooga plant and recently announced it will build a $550 million engine plant in Silao, Mexico.

VW said the Golf Blue e-Motion "is completely new and designed from the ground up as an electric vehicle." It will have a range of 100 miles when it hits the market in 2013.
