1989 Volkswagen Vanagon Gl Wolfsburg Edition on 2040-cars
Mechanicsville, Virginia, United States
As far as I can tell, I am the 4th owner of this 1989 Volkswagen Vanagon GL. The first two owners apparently lived out west (beginning as a new dealer sold vehicle in 1990). The 3rd owner was my neighbor's son (near Richmond, VA) --- who bought the van in the 2000-2001 timeframe. He had the engine rebuilt in Denver (very solid rebuild job) just before I bought it from him. From 2001 through 2011, I steadily replaced many parts in the Vanagon. Some were necessary repairs but many were replacements that I carried out because I simply wanted to improve the reliability of the van --- and because the components were still available and relatively cheap at the time (no longer the case for many of the parts that I purchased early in my ownership history). I have replaced the following components: All Standard "Tune Up" Parts Battery Standard 4 speed Manual Transmission (with rebuilt transmission) Alternator (Rebuilt Bosch) Steering Gear Power Steering Pump All Hoses Disc Brake Calipers, Disc Brake Pads, Rear Brake Shoes Complete Rear Drive Axles, CV Joints, etc. Radiators --- both Front and Rear A/C Compressor and Most Key A/C Components A/C Hoses Gas Tank Special Gas Tank Air Emissions Relief Hoses Master Brake Cylinder Clutch Slave Cylinder Fuel Injectors Fuel Pump Distributor Miscellaneous Transmission Linkage Parts Miscellaneous other parts (not listed above) Complete external paint job Aftermarket radio/tape player Added New Carpeting Shipping & Payment: Pick Up Only.

2013 Volkswagen Beetle Turbo Convertible
Wed, 10 Apr 2013Less Flower, More Power
Pardon our political incorrectness for a moment, but the Volkswagen New Beetle was, undeniably, a "chick car." There was almost nothing that the New Beetle offered to enthusiasts (of either gender), and by the end of its run, VW had even stripped all of the exciting engines from the car's lineup. Looking to resurrect some of the excitement behind the Beetle, the third generation of the iconic car ditched the cuteness when the coupe debuted for 2012, and now the 2013 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible aims to show how much fun drivers can have without a top.
Celebrating almost six and a half decades of the Beetle convertible, Volkswagen is offering a trio of distinct special editions that celebrate three of the car's most popular decades (the '50s, '60s and '70s), but as one of the unofficial cars of the 1960s, it would almost be a crime not to test this version, right? Besides, this is also the only special edition to get the turbocharged engine. While our first drive of the 2013 Beetle Convertible was in the fuel-miser TDI variation, our two-week romp in the 2013 Beetle Convertible '60s Edition came just as peak convertible weather was kicking off down in Florida.
$1.4B hedge fund suit against Porsche dismissed
Wed, 19 Mar 2014Investors have canvassed courts in Europe and the US to repeatedly sue Porsche over its failed attempt to take over Volkswagen in 2008 (see here, and here and here), and they have repeatedly failed to win any cases. You can add another big loss to the tally, with Bloomberg reporting that the Stuttgart Regional Court has dismissed a 1.4-billion euro ($1.95B US) lawsuit, the decision explained by the court's assertion that the investors would have lost on their short bets even if Porsche hadn't misled them.
Examining the hedge funds' motives for stock purchases and the bets that VW share prices would fall, judge Carola Wittig said that the funds didn't base their decisions on the key bits of "misinformation," and instead were participating simply in "highly speculative and naked short selling," only to get caught out.
With other cases still pending, the continued streak of victories bodes well for Porsche's courtroom fortunes, since judges will expect new information to consider overturning precedent. If there is any new info, it could come from the potential criminal cases still outstanding against former CEO Wendelin Wiedeking and CFO Holger Härter, who were both indicted on charges of market manipulation.
Volkswagen NMC production guise caught in China
Tue, 29 Apr 2014Chinese car site Autohome has what are said to be the first pictures of the Volkswagen New Midsize Coupe concept in production form. VW's NMC was just introduced at the Beijing Motor Show, while background chatter indicated it would go on sale in China, Autohome says that production version will be built at the Shanghai-Volkswagen plant in Ningbo, and the retail guise could be introduced at the Guangzhou Motor Show in November and go on sale that same month.
Assuming this is the production car, its main lines have made the jump from the concept but with less fine detailing, a silver hue and with conventional VW wheels it's lost a little bit of oomph. Still, a few checkmarks on the option sheet can fix most of that, the shape remains handsome and the 2.0-liter turbo underhood keeps performance peppy and mileage frugal enough. You can head to Autohome for a couple more photos of a sedan we'd be happy to make room for over here.
