 This 2003 VW Passat W8 4 Motion is in very good condition. It only has 92,111 miles on it and has been well maintained, I've owned the car since April of 2011 and have the service records since I've owned it. It has all the standard equipment that the W8 Passat came with.
 The body is in excellent condition, there are a couple of light scratches on the hood and the trunk lid, no rust and the color is Shadow Blue Metallic. The car has been in 2 accidents since I've owned it, a driveway scrape on the right front and rear doors they were repaired and repainted, and a front end damage (replaced bumper, grill, left headlight assembly), the body work was performed by Rife's Auto Body (one of the best body shops in central Ohio).
 The interior is in very good condition, the drivers seat and front passenger seat have the standard wear for an 11 year old car. Right rear seat has a small burn on it about a 1/4 of an inch. No rips or tears anywhere. There is a chip of wood missing on the center console(see photo).
 The engine light comes on some times (don't know what it is, I've had it checked several times), the hood support rod needs to be replaced (about $35.00), sunroof sticks, missing antenna, and the steering wheel controls for the radio are disabled due to the upgraded stereo. Those are the problems, everything else works great. The mufflers are custom and you get the original mufflers, the wheels are 18" X 8" with new tires (around 1500 miles on them), I also have the original OEM BBS upgraded wheels (1 is cracked but might be repairable). Please contact me with any questions. Thanks for looking.

TRANSLOGIC 150: Volkswagen XL1

Mon, Feb 24 2014

How do you build the world's most fuel-efficient production car? Start with the world's most aerodynamic design. The Volkswagen XL1 is capable of 261 miles per gallon thanks to its sleek shape and ultra efficient plug-in diesel hybrid powertrain. The downside is that only 250 will be made and none will be sold stateside. That didn't stop us from taking our turn behind the wheel of this truly revolutionary ride.

Intel-Mobileye tech in 2M BMWs, VWs, Nissans will crowdsource maps for autonomy

Tue, Jan 9 2018

Intel Chief Executive Brian Krzanich said on Monday 2 million vehicles from BMW, Nissan and Volkswagen would use its unit Mobileye's technology to crowdsource data for building maps that enable autonomous driving. The world's largest chipmaker bought Israeli firm Mobileye last year to compete with peers such as Qualcomm and Nvidia Corp and tap the fast-growing market of driverless cars, filled with a complex tangle of alliances. (VW, for example, is also working with Nvidia.) Krzanich was the keynote speaker at the Consumer Electronics Show. He said data from Mobileye's Road Experience Management software would gather data to build and update scalable high-definition maps. He also announced that Intel would be working with Ferrari on AI drones to cover Ferrari Challenge North America Series racing. The drones would provide video of the races, but ultimately they would provide drivers with data — video that would let them see their racing performance from overhead, but also telemetry information about, say, how they enter and exit a turn. Intel will also tie up with SAIC Motor Corp, which will use Mobileye technology to develop Level 3, 4 and 5 autonomous cars in China, the chipmaker said. Krzanich also said Intel had not received any information of customer data being compromised so far after the company confirmed last week that security issues reported by researchers in its widely used microprocessors could allow hackers to steal sensitive information from computers, phones and other devices. Security researchers had disclosed two security flaws exposing vulnerability of nearly every modern computing device containing chips from Intel, Advanced Micro Devices and ARM Holdings.

VW Golf Sportsvan succeeds Golf Plus in Frankfurt

Sun, 08 Sep 2013


Just ahead of this week's Frankfurt Motor Show, Volkswagen has announced the world premiere of its Golf Sportsvan, a near-production concept that succeeds its Golf Plus. VW describes this compact family car as "one of the most versatile vehicles of the compact class," noting that it offers a mix of hatchback and minivan features in a sporty package.
That sportiness comes from the Sportsvan's styling (perhaps more sleek wagon than minivan) and performance features it shares with the Golf GTI - including the XDS+ electronic differential lock, which is integrated into the Electronic Stability Control system to improve agility. At the same time, the Sportsvan's six engine options, which include a turbodiesel, are up to 19-percent more fuel-efficient than their predecessors.
