Volkswagen Beetle - Classic Sedan on 2040-cars
Keller, Washington, United States
1967 Volkswagen Beetle - a turn-key pristine drive anywhere - needs nothing - '67 Bug - not to be repeated, this is the best of the best. I would not be selling it except that family responsibilities take precedent at this time in my life. Although, if you're looking for a concours restoration, this is not your car - this is a modern interpretation of what a bug could have been in 1967 - say a sports version for that year...1776 cid with dual carbs...it goes very, very well...I've driven it less than 2000 miles since I purchased it in 2008. It cruises at 70 MPH on the freeway - all day long...it is a Southern California Beetle and this is very evident in the restoration, mechanically it is perfect, it retains original glass and the body is as new, it is spectacular, no excuses - there are two tiny cosmetic flaws - one is the alarm key receptacle that was left on the front driver side fender wall, the other a scratch on the passenger side front wheel where a bicyclist decided to get too close when the car was parked - other than these two small blemishes, it is truly a Bug that is better than when it was new - at 48 years old you would not believe the condition, must be seen to be appreciated - none finer. I bought this beetle from a LA County (Deputy) Sheriff in 2008 - he had restored the car for his girlfriend at the time, the relationship did not last the time of restoration and afterwards it just reminded him of her so he had to sell it...he completed a body off restoration and completely rebuilt every aspect of the car - this is truly an exceptional example that should be seen and driven to be appreciated - it is surely better than when it was new. The engine runs perfectly and the car needs nothing, finding a Bug in this condition is very rare, everything, all parts on the car are german parts - original VW parts, even the bumpers are the heavy steel German bumpers - nothing has been overlooked, the jack, spare and wrench are with the car.

World Car Of The Year down to its final four
Wed, 13 Mar 2013
Judges for the World Car of the Year Award have narrowed down the finalists to just four vehicles. Out of a total of 42 entries, only the Mercedes-Benz A-Class, Porsche Boxster/Cayman, Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ/Toyota GT-86 and Volkswagen Golf remain standing. For Volkswagen, this marks the second consecutive year the company has had an entry among the finalists, and the fourth time since 2009. In order to qualify, a vehicle must be on sale on two continents during the span of time between January 1, 2013 and May 30, 2013. A panel of 66 journalists from 23 countries then vote on the finalists.
Three vehicles have made the cut for the last round of voting on the 2013 World Performance Car as well, with the Cayman/Boxster and FR-S/BRZ/GT-86 running against the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta. Meanwhile, the Renault Zoe, Tesla Model S and Volvo V60 Plug-In Hybrid are duking it out for the World Green Car Award. Finally, the World Car Design of the Year Award is up for grabs between the Aston Martin Vanquish, Jaguar F-Type, and the Mazda6. Check out the full press release below. Overall winners will be presented at the 2013 New York Auto Show.
2015 Volkswagen GTI [w/video]
Fri, 26 Apr 2013The 911 Of Hot Hatches Takes The Compact Game To New Levels
North American car buyers get a bit of a slap in the face when it comes to delivery schedules for new the Volkswagen Golf and pumped-up GTI models. We'll just repeat the old chestnut: It's worth the wait... even though it still stinks. This time around, Western Europe is taking deliveries of the new Golf as we speak, and GTI deliveries start between May and July. North America doesn't get the Mk7 Golf or GTI until about July of 2014.
So we approached our first drive of the new GTI with this chip on our shoulder: "You're making us wait? Well, then at least give us the exact car we'll be able to buy. No compromises, mein freund." And so it was that we extracted nearly all of our drive impressions from behind the wheel of what, for the United States, will technically be a model year 2015 two-door Volkswagen Golf GTI Performance with the standard six-speed manual.
Volkswagen shows off performance-ish Passat concept
Mon, 14 Jan 2013As part of its 2013 Detroit Auto Show debut package, Volkswagen has rolled out a sportier version of the Passat sedan, though it's strictly conceptual for now. A small dose of go-fast visuals have been added to the handsome Volkswagen, including 19-inch wheels, carbon-capped mirrors, an advanced front lighting system, LED taillamps and dual exhaust. Some carbon bits and upgraded leather are found inside the cabin, as well.
But the real performance chops come in the form of a 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that sends 250 horsepower to the Passat's front wheels via a six-speed automatic transmission. That's a good boost in power over the 170 hp of the base 2.5-liter inline-five, but not quite as potent as the 3.6-liter VR6. A lowered sport suspension and revised electronic steering are also on hand, making things slightly more involving out on the road... we assume.
It's not quite the performance concept we were hoping for, but a more enthusiastic Passat isn't necessarily a bad thing. Scroll down for the press release.
