For some reason, doing the tuning thing to a ride like the Volkswagen Golf R makes more sense to me than doing it to something like a huge Mercedes S Class or a Ferrari Anything. It kind of holds true to the tuner roots in a lot of ways. And making a kind of fast [...]
Oh sweet, not just a breathed on Golf GTI, but the German tuning house (haus?) MTM has had a go at the Golf GTD diesel as well. Before I dive into the specific coolness of all this, let me just say (for the umpteenth time) that we should really have the Golf GTD over here. [...]
Last year, we drove a 2009 VW Jetta TDI sedan from Raleigh, NC to Washington DC and back on less than one tank of diesel, which ended up to be around 46 mpg on average. We praised the car not only on its exceptional fuel economy, but on its livability, excellent 6-speed manual transmission, peppy [...]

The 2.0-liter TDI engine is now featured in the Jetta TDI sedan and SportWagen, as well as the 2010 Golf. The engine complies with all the excessively strict Tier 2, Bin 5/ULEV [...]
What have we here? Yes, it’s a show car, but this one looks to have real production potential, and is also downright handsome to boot. This is the New Compact Coupe from Volkswagen. And besides a stupefyingly unimaginative name, it packs a boat load of technology and some pretty impressive performance figures.
Yes, sadly that is [...]
“Hey! That looks like a VW Phaeton!” you might say. And you’d be right. It started out as Volkswagen’s uber-sedan that didn’t sell very well here in the U.S. of A., but by the time Hofele-Design got done with it, it was the Phaeton no more, and is now the Mythos Royal. (You! In the [...]
