I HAD THIS CAR LISTED AND THE BUYER THAT WON, COULD NOT BE CONTACTED SO I'M LISTING IT AGAIN. I'VE OWNED THIS CAR FOR 18 YEARS IN FLORIDA AND DROVE IT ON SUNDAYS AND  SPECIAL OCCASIONS. IT HAS THE ORIGINAL PAINT WHICH IS REALLY NICE EXCEPT FOR A FEW TINY CHIPS AND NORMAL WEAR. WHEN I TAKE IT FOR A SPIN, EVERYONE JUST FALLS IN LOVE WITH IT AND HAS A VW STORY TO TELL. IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN COVERED AND KEPT IN A GARAGED AREA. I BOUGHT IT FROM A SCHOOL TEACHER IN NEW JERSEY WHO USED IT TO DRIVE TO WORK, BUT THEN HAD A BABY. THEY ALSO KEPT THE CAR GARAGED.   ON THE INSIDE BOTTOM OF THE DOORS THERE ARE SPOTS OF RUST ABOUT 1/2",HIGH, I GUESS IT WAS FROM THE SNOW UP NORTH. THE CAR HAS HAD A NEW CONVERTIBLE TOP PUT ON 2 YEARS AGO, NEW RADIO LAST YEAR, AND NEW TIRES THIS PAST SUMMER. THERE IS A TINY TEAR IN THE CONVERTIBLE TOP WHERE THE FRAME MUST HAVE HIT IT WHILE IT WAS FOLDED DOWN.  THIS CAR HAS JUST HAD A TUNE UP AND OIL CHANGE, AND RUNS GREAT. IT ALSO COMES WITH THE BOOT, CAR COVER, ORGINIAL 1978 OWNERS MANUALS, SPEAR TIRE, SOME OTHER ORGINIAL PAPERS AND RECEITS OF MAINTANCE WORK, ETC. THE ORGINIAL KARMAN SEAL IS ALSO ON THE CAR. WHAT A CUTIE, HOPE YOU'LL ENJOY IT LIKE I HAVE. GOOD LUCK. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. BUYER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR PICK UP AND SHIPPING.

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.

Recharge Wrap-up: Arcimoto SRK video, BAIC EV at CES

Tue, Jan 12 2016

Kelley Blue Book took a spin in the Arcimoto SRK three-wheeled EV at CES in Las Vegas. In the video above, KBB Managing Editor Micah Muzio gets behind the handlebars for a spin around an empty parking lot. He notes a gradual throttle tip-in, though from the video, it appears the trike has a bit of pep. While the hydraulic brake pedal requires a bit of extra effort, the regenerative brake lever located on the right handlebar is effective and easy to use. The steering is a little heavy, but manageable, at low speeds. He calls it "kind of a fun little conveyance," adding, "Maybe this is the future." See the full review in the video above. CARB Chairman Mary Nichols spoke with German television about Volkswagen's emissions scandal. In a photo she posted on Twitter, Nichols can be seen in front of cameras with CARB's test bay in the background. In the bay is a Volkswagen Jetta TDI. She says in her tweet, "Discussing VW cheating case w/German TV in front of ARB lab test bay & '07 diesel Jetta. Time to move on to #EVs!" Late last year, a group of environmentalists and Silicon Valley leaders – Elon Musk included – sent Nichols an open letter suggesting CARB help urge Volkswagen to give up on diesels and focus on electric vehicles. See Nichols's post on Twitter. South Korea's most popular EV is the Renault Samsung Motors (RSM) SM3 ZE (also known as the Renault Fluence ZE). The all-electric vehicle has sold 1,767 units since its arrival in Korea since November 2013, with 2015 sales reaching 1,043 units. This makes one in three EVs in Korea a RSM SM3 ZE. The car has been selected as Korea's official government vehicle, and RSM has supplied over 100 EV taxis, 60 of which are in Seoul. Read more in the press release from Renault. BAIC EV announced it has established an R&D center in Detroit at CES. It will work with its other centers in Silicon Valley and Aachen, Germany in order to develop automotive technology and evaluate global demand. The EV branch of the Chinese automaker also debuted its i-Link information system, which uses 4G to connect car telematics to the cloud. The i-Link system also provides wireless phone charging, remote inquiry services and connects sensing technologies to the internet. Read more in the press release below.

Lamborghini could be sold or spun off from the Volkswagen Group

Sat, Oct 12 2019

Volkswagen is reportedly considering a sale or stock listing for its high-end Lamborghini brand. The German automaker is looking to fold the Italian supercar brand into a separate legal entity, reports Bloomberg, which cites "people familiar with the matter" who don't want to be identified "because the deliberations are confidential and no decisions have been made." Any of this sound familiar? The goal of spinning off Lamborghini would be to stockpile more cash and other resources for VW's massive planned push into electric vehicles. Back in March, reports circulated that Volkswagen's "Vision 2030" corporate plan might include plans to focus on the brand's core brands — VW, Audi and Porsche. That means the futures of fringe players like Lamborghini, Bentley, Bugatti, motorcycle brand Ducati and design firm Italdesign (and note this isn't a comprehensive list of brand's under the expansive VW Group umbrella) are up in the air. VW, according to the report, is targeting a market value of $220 billion, which is a big jump from the brand's current $89 billion valuation. Bloomberg pegged Lamborghini's valuation at around $11 billion back in August, buoyed by sales and profits generated by the introduction of the Urus sport utility vehicle. On the flip side, Lamborghini is currently grappling with how best to update its supercar lineup in the face of ever-increasing emissions regulations.
