Hello,

for sale today we have our

2007 VW Passat Wagon.

The vehicle is in great condition,

we purchased the vehicle from the

dealership in Detroit a little over a year ago.

The dealership had installed new brakes prior

to us taking ownership, & this past winter

a complete set of new

Continental Contact Extreme DWS

ultra-performance all-season tires

where installed along with having a 4-wheel alignment performed.

The car is FWD and is outfitted with the high-output 3.6L narrow-V6

along with a trip-tronic 6-speed auto/manual transmission.

The car has received a tune-up, a K&N cold-air intake installed, as well as, a custom exhaust.

The vehicle has the optional premium Dyn-Audio with an in dash 6-disc CD/MP3 player.

The vehicle has dual digital climate controls,

AC, cruise, heated power mirrors, heated power seats,

charcoal metallic grey exterior with black leather interior.

The vehicle has just over 100k miles, the majority of which have been highway.

Fully serviced every 3k miles using VW synthetic.

The vehicle is outfitted with the

optional 18" premium factory wheels,

which have been dipped black,

and also included is a new full size matching spare 18" wheel/tire.

The vehicle is equipped with LED daytime running lights,

LED brake lights & turn signals, and has the HID adaptive headlights.

The vehicle has the optional automatic rain sensing windshield wipers.

The car is outfitted with the factory all-weather-floor-mats.

The windshield was replaced by VW just before winter, and is free from nicks, scratches, and cracks.

The oil was just recently changed and new wiper blades installed, as well as, the tires where just rotated.

The vehicle was serviced last week by the dealership in Traverse City, where regular routine

maintenance was performed which included an entire front suspension upgrade / replacement.

Copies of the vehicles repairs and maintenance are available, and the vehicle does

have an optional bumper-to-bumper warranty that comes with it.

The new purchasers will need to transfer this into their name(s),

where a $70 transfer charge will be incurred.

A clean, stylish, sporty, yet economical means of transportation.

It has a low and aggressive stance and

is nimble & agile around the corners and turns.

It's not your "mom's" station wagon, with a low 6.6 second 0-60 mph time,

however, less expensive to own and insure, & attains 20's mpg in the city & 30's mpg on the highway.

And there is plenty of room for the whole family! How can you go wrong!

The only reason my wife & I are selling is due to liquidity for home purchase.

The vehicle has a clear green title, and is ready in hand.

(Please no time waster's -> ie: LowBaller's & Tire-Kicker's)

Any questions, or to schedule a test drive call / text us today at: (517) 930-3078.

The vehicle is one of our daily drivers, and as such, mileage will continue to go up.

Thanks for looking!

Volkswagen Golf R 400 Concept is a 201-mph hot hatch

Sun, 20 Apr 2014

This, friends, is what happens when you shoehorn 395 horsepower into a Golf. You get a three-door hatch that will happily scurry to 62 miles per hour in 3.9 seconds and on to a top speed of 201 mph. Oh yes, we like you, Golf R 400 Concept.
As we explained in our original post, the R 400 is the long-awaited successor to bonkers Golf creations like the GTI W12 from 2007 and, more recently, the Design Vision GTI. It's powered by the same 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder found in a number of Volkswagen (and Audi, SEAT and Skoda) products, although it's been heavily massaged to pump out 332 pound-feet of torque along side its amplified horsepower.
Naturally, it's been lowered and now rides on 19-inch wheels. Outside of those changes, though, mums the word on suspension and chassis enhancements. While this is a bummer, the striking looks of the Golf R 400 more than make up for it.

Automakers score 8 out of top 20 most-watched ads on YouTube [w/videos]

Fri, 14 Dec 2012

Who would have ever thought there'd be a day where people are able to skip television commercials only to go to websites to watch them later? Such is the joy of a DVR and YouTube. AdWeek tabulated the 20 most-watched ads on YouTube, and found that nine were car-related including eight coming from automakers.
Volkswagen continued its Star Wars theme with two ads in the top 20, including the highest-ranking car commercial The Bark Side spot at number three with almost 18 million views, which doesn't even have a single car in it. Some of our favorites are from Chrysler with Clint Eastwood in It's Halftime in America and House Arrest with Charlie Sheen for the Fiat 500 Abarth. Chevrolet, Honda, Audi and Toyota were the other automakers in the top 20, but we'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention one of the coolest ads on the list, the Hot Wheels corkscrew jump.
Of all the car videos, only the Fiat ad wasn't played during a Super Bowl. Check out all eight videos - in order - after the jump. Nike took the top spot with its My Time is Now ad that has been seen online more than 20 million times with Pepsi's Uncle Drew posted up in the runner-up; some of the other videos include four Old Spice commercials and an ad in which Snoop Dogg is pedaling Hot Pockets.

Skoda plans big investment into electric cars as part of rebound effort

Wed, Mar 24 2021

PRAGUE — Czech carmaker Skoda, part of the Volkswagen Group, said on Wednesday it would invest around 2.5 billion euros over the next five years on future technologies, with more than half going to electric vehicle investment. The Czech Republic's largest exporter is hoping for a rebound in 2021 from a global car sales drop but faces uncertainty over the coronavirus pandemic and a semiconductor shortage rattling the industry. "This year is likely to be another big challenge," finance director Klaus-Dieter Schuermann said. "We expect Skoda Auto's group performance to improve, with sales revenue significantly above the level of last year." Skoda reported on Wednesday a 54.5% drop in 2020 operating to 756 million euros ($894 million). Sales revenue dropped 13.8% to 17.1 billion euros. Global deliveries remained above 1 million cars for a seventh straight year despite a 19% drop after production outages at the outset of the pandemic and a fall in China, its biggest single market. Chief Executive Thomas Shaefer said the car company was managing the semiconductor shortage "but it will follow us for awhile" and the impact was not visible yet. Skoda's core market in Europe would be electric in the future, Shaefer said, although it was still not time to completely switch away from traditional models, which include the launch last year of a new generation of its flagship Octavia model. It has also started production of the all-electric Enyaq iV model, which is a version of Volkswagen's ID.4. Skoda plans investments of 1.4 billion euros into electromobility development as part of its five-year investment plan. Investments will also go into digitalization activities and plant modernization. Related video: Green Volkswagen Skoda Electric
