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.

Lexus tops JD Power Vehicle Dependability Study again, Buick bests Toyota
Wed, Feb 25 2015It shouldn't surprise anyone, but Lexus has once again taken the top spot in JD Power's Vehicle Dependability Study. That'd be the Japanese luxury brand's fourth straight year at the top of table. The big news, though, is the rise of Buick. General Motor's near-premium brand beat out Toyota to take second place, with 110 problems per 100 vehicles compared to Toyota's 111 problems. Lexus owners only reported 89 problems per 100 vehicles. Besides Buick's three-position jump, Scion enjoyed a major improvement, jumping 13 positions from 2014. Ram and Mitsubishi made big gains, as well, moving up 11 and 10 positions, respectively. In terms of individual segments, GM and Toyota both excelled, taking home seven segment awards each. The study wasn't good news for all involved, though. A number of popular automakers finished below the industry average of 147 problems per 100 vehicles, including Subaru, (157PP100), Volkswagen (165PP100), Ford/Hyundai (188PP100 each) and Mini (193PP100). The biggest losers (by a tremendous margin, we might add) were Land Rover and Fiat, recording 258 and 273 problems per 100 vehicles. The next closest brand was Jeep, with 197PP100. While the Vehicle Dependability Study uses the same measurement system as the Initial Quality Survey, the two metrics analyze very different things. The VDS looks at problems experienced by original owners of model year 2012 vehicles over the past 12 months, while the oft-quoted IQS focuses on problems in the first 90 days of new-vehicle ownership. Like the IQS, though, the VDS has a rather broad definition of what a problem is. Because of that, a low score from JD Power is no guarantee of extreme unreliability, so much as just poor design. In this most recent study, the two most reported problems focused on Bluetooth connectivity and the voice-command systems. The former leaves plenty of room for user error due to poor design (particularly true of the Bluetooth systems on the low-scoring Fords, Volkswagens and Subarus), while the second is something JD Power has already confirmed as being universally terrible. That makes means that while these studies are important, they shouldn't be taken as gospel when it comes to automotive reliability.

Porsche-Piech buy 10% stake in VW's holding company
Tue, 18 Jun 2013In August, 2009, as the scuttled merger of Porsche and Volkswagen had gone bad and Porsche was backed up against the ropes, Porsche Automobil Holding SE (PAHSE) relinquished a ten-percent stake in itself to Qatar Holdings as well as options it held on 17 percent of VW shares. The sale meant that, for the first time since the founding of the company 61 years before, an entity outside the Porsche and Piech families had a say in the running of PAHSE.
Buying that ten-percent stake back returns full ownership to the two families, the holding company's sole possession being ownership of 50.7 percent of VW's common shares. The price paid wasn't disclosed, but at market rates the purchase would be worth close to $1.25 billion. Qatar intends to hold onto the 17-percent stake it has in Volkswagen.
VW Super Bowl teaser with Jimmy Cliff is like a less-mean Tosh.0 Web Redemption
Thu, 24 Jan 2013Reggae super-duper-star and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Jimmy Cliff has been using music to send positive vibes out into the universe for decades now, so its no surprise that his message on behalf of Volkswagen is one of redemption.
Dubbed Sunny Side, this web-spot is VW's warmup of sorts for what promises to be another blockbuster year in the world of Super Bowl commercials. Without giving away the game, the euphonious commercial sees Cliff opening his arms and his heart to some YouTube 'celebrities' that might see courser treatment from the likes of Tosh.0, for instance. We can't help but be reminded of Coca-Cola's legendary 1971 Hilltop spot with the "I'd like to buy the world a Coke" lyric, too.
Enjoy the pre-Super Bowl VW spot below, and don't forget to pay it forward... your karma will thank you. For those of you that just can't get enough of commercial-making magic, we've included a "making-of" video, as well.
