Volkswagen (Page 4)

According to a report in Automotive News, Volkswagen has told its dealers that there will only be two next-gen Golfs sold here, the GTI and the R-Line.

Here's a tongue-in-cheek tool that should help you with your Tiguan-buying trips, although, you may find that even if it doesn't help all that much, you'll have a good laugh, as well.

Volkwagen's 2019 Golf GTI has earned a Top Safety Pick award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).

One piece of interesting news that came out of the New York International Auto Show (NYIAS) is that Volkswagen is seriously considering offering a compact pickup here, but no decision has been made yet.

The two-car Volkswagen Andretti team is back at full strength as they have hired a driver for the 02 car. A rising star of the rallycross circuit, Cabot Bigham will take on the rest of the field during the ARX2 season which begins in June.

Volkswagen has been honored for the second time in two years by Popular Mechanics. The publication has named the Golf GTI winner of the "Hatchback of the Year." The award recognizes the advances in automotive technology found on the GTI.

With Volkswagen's commitment to electric vehicles rapidly and seriously expanding, the automaker is using every major show venue to tease its future wares. This time it is an addition to the I.D. electric family. It is a three-row SUV named the I.D. Roomzz.

A week or so ago, some car thieves who can't measure straight decided to pull off an overnight theft of a VW Golf from a car-carrying railway car. Their plan fell flat when there wasn't enough hole to move the car through. Do you think they will try again?

With the Beetle heading for an automotive fadeout at the end of the current model year, at least one racing team, in one racing series, and one supporting manufacturer is helping to send the Beetle out in style. The Andretti Race Team is fielding two VW Beetles in the ARX rallycross series which kicks off next month.

For the second time in two years, Volkswagen's three-row crossover/SUV, the Atlas, received the magazine's "Best" award. Said Derrick Hatami, executive vp of sales, marketing and after sales, the automaker is "delighted that Parents magazine has now honored the Atlas for a second year.”

For the second time in the the last two years, Cars.Com has named Volkswagen's Tiguan the 'Best Compact SUV."

In an interview, Volkswagen chief Herbert Diess was adamant that there will be no revival of the Beetle, even as an electric.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation and a Michigan sheriff's department have charged a pair of men with pilfering 61 vehicles that were bought back by VW in the VW Dieselgate scandal and stored. Some 45 were shipped off to other spots while another 15 were stored.

Like the retro-futuro I.D. Buzz, Volkswagen has again gone to the past for inspiration for a modern, yet retro, two-place dune buggy. The new I.D. Buggy will join the I.D. electric family. Like the buggies of the past that the automaker emulates, the new I.D. Buggy is as much a work in progress, as it is a solid, set-in-stone plan.

Volkswagen used Wednesday to announce the pricing for the 2019 Jetta GLI Series.

Volkswagen is about to leave U.S. gearheads looking at the store window as the automaker introduces a performance version of its Europe-only performance crossover SUV the T-Roc R. Rumors have abounded that the automaker had been planning something for Geneva next month. This was it.

Volkswagen has recalled 6,000 vehicles to repair possible faulty rear springs. According to the automaker, it is possible that a rear coil spring might shatter causing handling problems and the possibility for an accident.

Even as Volkswagen added 119,000 vehicles to the latest Takata recall figures, other automakers such as Toyota and Fiat-Chrysler Autos added millions of vehicles to the list. And, Ford issued a do-not-drive order for some 2006 Ranger pickups and their Mazda equivalents.

Volkswagen, which introduced its restyled 2019 Jetta last year waited a bit before introducing the Jetta GLI. The reason is simple, the automaker didn't want to shield the compact from good publicity.

For the second year in a row, the Volkswagen Atlas received the coveted MotorWeek Drivers' Choice Award. The popular cable show said the SUV was the top in its category out of the many vehicles that its editors review. The winner was named at the Chicago Auto Show.

After a couple of years of denials, Volkswagen has changed its corporate mind and has decided to bring the T-Roc-R to North America. At the moment, it is undergoing final development at the Nurburgring race track, however, when it is ready for intro, it will be making more than a few waves.

How to make sustainable transportation well sustainable: EV charging sustainable both financially and environmentally.

Volkswagen has gone back for another look at one of its future cars. At Geneva's Motor Show next month, the automaker will debut its latest concept electric that takes its cues from the dune buggies that were popular in the 1960s and 1970s.

In a not-too-rare occurrence, Volkswagen's 2019 Jetta has found itself on the receiving end of some bad news from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). Normally, the series would have breezed through the annual testing by the insurance agency. However, thanks to headlight design, the automaker finds its ratings knocked down.

Moving to its next major target, Volkswagen has confirmed that it plans to make a run at the single-lap record for a fully electric racing vehicle at the Eifel's Nordschleife racetrack.

While some may have doubted either VW's planned investment or the number of electric vehicles that the automaker would be making by 2022 -- 27 -- it looks like VW's predictions and plans may be coming true.

Following long discussions, Ford and Volkswagen have entered into an agreement that will likely result in new vehicles, such as autonomous cars or electrics. There is also talk of VW and Ford jointly developing a global mid-sized pickup. That, though, is several years away.

ANALYSIS AND OPINION: Until recently no one in the car industry ever had an experience of what it was like to end production of a car product due to obsolescence, they and other peer brands have produced since its invention in the mid-nineteenth century. Shutting down gas while ramping up electric is a double money losing proposition into the tens to hundreds of billions. Only the wealthiest and most powerful car companies on earth can survive this conversion process, and I look into how this is so.

Volkswagen used the Detroit Auto Show this week to introduce its revamped 2020 Passat sedan. There are few major changes in the Passat as VW has decided to return to its roots by working on incremental changes to its vehicles. The Passat certainly exhibits this.
