Volkswagen up! concept 2007-09-13 00:41:00 Another concept, proudly announced by Volkswagen
CEO Martin Winterkorn... rear-engine, 4 seats, 3 door. Possibly will also be available in 5 doors or even convertible.Measuring a tiny 3,450mm in length and 1,630mm in width, the Up is capable of carrying four passengers. Yet those German ingeneers come up with a new design for upcoming cars. Rumors state the UP! will carry a turbocharged 1.4L engine, curently in the Golf GT.Volkswagen's administration just had to come up with somwthing to beat the Yaris and Suzuki Swift.Don't get too excited, the release is not planned anywhere before 2011.I must add, I hardly doubt the availability if this car in North America.
Women chose the best car of the year! 2007-09-09 12:06:00 First Ever Women
's Car AwardsJudged by women for womenThe Evercar.com - Car website by women for women has chose
n the VW Eos as the best car of the year. It topped the shortlist of 27 cars sold in UK.Alex Jenner-Fust, editor of evecars.com said: "Our winner had to excel in its category and have a wider appeal. Volkswagen's Eos is a car you can buy because you love it, and because it makes perfect sense. It’s a convertible without the potential weakness of a cloth roof, practical enough to carry four, but sexy, too. While it feels sporty to drive, it's not so demanding you couldn’t drive it every day."Every car was given a thorough inspection and judges looked at how easy is was to find a good driving position, get into and out of the back seats, fit a child seat and pack the boot. The cars were then put through their paces on winding country lanes and fast sections of dual carriageway as well as being manoeuvred around a couple of tight parking spaces.
Volkswagen to change the Logo in 2008! 2007-09-09 11:52:00 The German Car Blog is reporting that VW chief Martin Winterkorn has decided to refresh the world known VW Logo. It seems like the new Golf VI will get a new logo in 2008. The V and the W in the logo will be more separated and will appear more 3-D, but overall look will remain the same. Volkswagen
AG does not believe this change would affect their sales in any kind of way.

Volkswagen Golf V R32 US Pricing 2007-06-27 14:18:00 sponsored by: Car-Auction.comMSRP of $32,990Volkswagen
of America, Inc. announced today that its hottest hatchback, the new 2008 R32 will make its highly anticipated debut in the United States this autumn. I think the image explains the look and the feel of the brand new mk5 .:R32.3.2 liter naturally aspirated narrow angle VR6 engine, which provides 250 horsepower and 236 ft. lbs. of torque. This unique and potent engine is combined with Volkswagen’s gripping 4Motion® all-wheel-drive system. Rounding out the drivetrain package is the highly praised Volkswagen dual clutch DSG® transmission, which allows for seamless gear changes and helps the R32 to accelerate from 0-60 in approximately 6.4 seconds.I will be posting more specs on the hot hatch later this week.

Volkswagen and the Pope 2007-06-26 14:51:00 sponsored by: Car-Auction.comPope Benedict XVI just recieved a gift from VW boss, Dr. Bernd Pischetsrieder... the keys of a long-wheelbase 6.0-liter, 450-bhp Phaeton.This is not the Holy Father's first VW. As plain old Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, he used to drive around Rome in a MkIV Golf, which was subsequently sold for $250,000. Blessed are those with strongresidual values. Read more:Volkswagen
No Scirocco for Canada and the USA. (?!) 2007-06-20 13:35:00 Driver's magazine confirmed that the new Vw Scirocco, a.k.a. IROC will not be making its way to the North America.Volkswagen of America CEO claims there is no market for such a car. Lots of us, car-lovers disagree, so does the Volkswagen AG.Many people claim that Scirocco will not be sold in the US and Canada
, in couple of years. Why such a delay?Simple. VWofA wants to make all the money possible with the 2 new hot hatches; the 2.0T GTI and the 2.5L new Rabbit.My personal concern is that at this exact moment VAG (Volkswagen Auto Groupe) offers over 13 different NEW models. In Canada only 7 new models are available.Why can't we enjoy the fuel economy of a 1.4L Fox or Polo,sapcious suv Touran and/or Sharar or the confort of the Phaeton? Let's not forget the Caddy Life, Multivan and the upcoming Scirocco and the Tiguan?I guess the fact that VwofA dictates the VwAG of what to sell in the North America...

VW Eos has second best resale value in UK ! 2007-06-14 12:57:00 Post sponsored by: Car Auctions! A study done by EurotaxGlass, shows that the Eos, or more specifically an Eos 2.0L TDI Sport, has the second best resale value in the UK, bright after the #1 the Ferrari F430 Spider. This puts Volkswagen in some pretty good company at the top.During the 12 months study, Ferrari F430 Spider maintained 97% of its value and the Eos kept 94% of its value. Of all the vehicles they tested, only these two managed to lose less that 10% of their value.Not bad for the Eos' first year and it's yet another reason to get an Eos just as the Summer season begins...source: The German Car Blog

Euro Cars 2007-10-12 11:24:00 Eurocars Euro CarsToday I was browsing youtube for Euro Cars. And I found some interesting videos such as Euro Cars vs American Cars, Euro Cars are the best and many other Euro Cars related videos. I noticed that most of these videos (not all... I said most) promote euro cras and bash the american rides. Now I do not agree with those statments. Sure, I prefer euro cars, that's why I owned 5 Volkswagens so far, but I think American cars have a great story and history as well. Especially Ford or even the less reputable and currently downfalling GM. These are cars as well, and I think we all should respect its admireres and makers - if they like it - there is a reason.We, eurocars lovers, might not understand these reasons, low fuel efficency and the huge weight of these cars - but they do.Volkswagen makes v8 and even v10 engines as well. And there are some pretty ugly euro cars on the market, especially from Eastern Europe - these are still eurocars.If you are still wondering what I am
