This is a running and ready to drive VW. Has new floors, heat boxes, Alt., Fuel tank, fuel pump and fuel lines, interior carpet set and trunk carpet set, Fat rear fenders with Chevy wheels and tires installed, EMPI shifter (4 speed) Seat covers in box. The last owner tried and failed to install correctly. Has 2 small rust spots easy fix in lower 1/4 panels. Solid car. Not much to finish it up to make it really nice. I need garage room for the winter. This car starts first time every time. Has new master cyl too. I will include the original wheels with the sale. Bring plates and take her home. New running boards too! A box of very useable parts included. This is a great father and son project or just drive the wheels of it the way it is. It is a driver right now. Need some bulbs around the car. It has a push button start with the original ignition key. New battery, All tires as good as new. Not many miles on them. I show in the pictures the new VW floor pans and VW heat rocker boxes, The seats are out so you can see this. The interior is complete just not in the car at the moment. I will install the seats if you want but they must be removed to install the new carpet set that is included. This a a very cool car to restore with little effort. All mechanical s done. If you have any questions or want to view the car in person?, Just ask. Thank you and happy bidding. I love this car and would paint to finish but my health wont allow this.

Volkswagen drops "GTi" lawsuit against Suzuki

Tue, 02 Oct 2012

Way back in 2004, Volkswagen took umbrage with Suzuki being granted permission to use the nameplate "SWIFT GTi" for a performance variant of its small-car offering (2012 equivalent seen here). Now, eight years and surely some very steep legal bills later, VW has finally dropped its claim against Suzuki.
The General Court of the European Union stated, back in March of this year, that Suzuki's GTi registration could not be confused with VW's "Golf GTI." Volkswagen had appealed that ruling, though has now reportedly called off the dogs. In fact, Germany's Die Welt reports that the appeal has been dead for several weeks now.
This news comes amongst continued arbitration acrimony between the two automakers, all revolving around VW's forced divestiture of nearly 20-percent stake it purchased in Suzuki some two years ago.

Volkswagen New Midsize Coupe Concept is an aspirational Jetta

Mon, 21 Apr 2014

Meet the Volkswagen baby CC. Okay, that's not really it's name (VW calls it the New Midsize Coupe Concept), but this sleek, four-door coupe draws more than a little inspiration from the CC while riding on VW's MQB platform.
It's a looker, we think, and is an eye-pleasing departure from the bland styling of the current Jetta. The sleeker front end is complemented by a wider body overall (it's wider than a Passat), while the more sporting roofline and the sharp rear fascia gives the New Midsize Coupe a decidedly sporting character. LED head- and taillights add a bit more personality to this already stylish design.
Thanks to its 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder, it should get along rather sportingly, as well. The run to 62 miles per hour takes just 6.5 seconds thanks to the 217 horsepower on offer. A seven-speed dual-clutch automatic is also fitted, and contributes to an estimated 37 miles per gallon.

Volkswagen formally introduces super-efficient XL1

Mon, 04 Mar 2013

Lightweight and low drag are hallmarks of great sportscar design. But when paired with a super-efficient, hybrid powertrain, you have the Volkswagen's XL1 that has been formally introduced in Geneva today.
When the 1,700-lb, carbon-fiber-bodied two-seater hits the road, its claimed 261 miles per gallon will make it the world's most-fuel-efficient production car. Though "production car" might be a stretch since VW said in a February press release that the XL1 would be built using "handcrafting-like production methods." We translate that to mean you won't be seeing many of these cars on the road. Though no one at VW has mentioned pricing yet, early rumors suggested a six-figure price tag.
That's supercar budget for a vehicle that has a 47-horsepower, two-cylinder diesel engine and a 27hp electric motor. With numbers like that, owners can expect 0-62 mph times of 12.7 seconds and top speed near 100 mph.
