Won't happen anytime soon.
Early rumours regarding the 5 door Up! mentioned a 10cm / 4" increase in length.
VW kept it as short as the 3-door though.
VW had the Lupo and Fox before the Up! came about, these were similarly sized but didn't sell as well as their small competitors.
Most cars tend to grow in size, then a new model is introduced below the previously smallest of a marque.
Like the Fiat 500, it'd be hard to sell in the US, but in the hands of hypermilers, this could well be a sub 3L / 80+ mpg car with modest mods.
