Volkswagen expects the Bora to live up to its name and blow plenty of business its way. Bora, named after an Adriatic breeze, stirs up new interest in an increasingly tough sports sedan element of the luxury segment. The German manufacturer expects Bora to vie with offerings from BMW, Lexus, Alfa Romeo, Saab and Volvo. Based on the same A platform that has produced the Golf, Beetle and Audi's TT VW, chiefs are at pains to point out that the Bora is more than just a Golf with a boot. Shared components include front and rear axles, brakes, steering, fuel tanks, wheels and tyres, floorpan, beams and bumpers, but the body has been made stiffer.
