2002 - Volkswagen Eurovan on 2040-cars
Dahlgren, Illinois, United States
2002 Volkswagen Eurovan Weekender Pop-Top 115,000 miles/185,000 kms 2.8 VR6 Engine It is with extreme reluctance that I offer a much beloved 2002 Westfalia for sale. I am a fanatic of older German cars and have had a life-long passion for VW campers. The van has never seen winter, has only been highway driven and maintained meticulously with up to date service (synthetic oil only). It is in excellent rust-free mechanical and physical shape. The original paint is virtually flawless and the interior even smells new. The interior shows no signs of fading whatsoever; this vehicle has spent the majority of its life indoors. The undercarriage has been regularly rust-proofed at Krown and is spotless and easy to service as a result. All seats look and support as if they were absolutely brand new. Service over the years has been performed by Bytek Volkswagen in Ottawa then Don Valley Volkswagen and Chris Symes at S&S Motors in Toronto (Euro specialists). All original books come with the vehicle and most of the service history is in the file with complete details available for the past three years. The van needs no conversion work for U.S. registration; even the speedometer is already in kilometers and miles. To the best of my knowledge it also shouldn’t require any work for safety certification in any jurisdiction; the tires have about 80% tread remaining, the rotors and brakes have very few miles on them. Features: - Comfortably seats 7 (or 6 without the additional jump seat in place behind the front passenger) - Sleeps 4 - Built-in 12v cooler mounted under jump-seat located behind driver’s seat - Power windows - Heated front seats - Cruise control - All original privacy curtains included along with full rear hatch screen, child safety barrier for upper deck and rare side door zip-up screen. - Auxilary battery (under driver’s seat) to power interior lights amenities without draining main battery. Additional features: - VW factory tow package including flat multi-pin trailer lighting cable that appears to be virtually unused - VW mudflaps - VW dealer installed rear parking sensors - UV block tinted windows - A full set of after-market German louvered window inserts for secure, rain-free ventilation from the front and side windows when parked or camping (pictured unmounted in trunk) - Built in 12-CD changer - Dash-mounted VW fold down shelf/cup holder - One year old front VW Eurovan-specific soft rubber mats - All weather carpet mat for rear passenger floor (not pictured) - Clear 3M scuff guards installed and like new on both front door thresholds A few items to point out: - This is not a brand new vehicle; are a few light marks in places thanks to less conscientious folk in parking lots and very minor chips on the front from highway travel. - As pictured, the upper tent has some easily repairable issues where the front panel has been, unfortunately, pinched by the pop-top closing mechanism. - At some point the previous owner (I am the second) had a valance mounted over the side door. When the valance was removed, the screw holes were sealed with silicone. These are barely noticeable and would be covered if a new valance were to be installed. The Eurovan MV Weekender is one of the most versatile vehicles ever produced. In addition to the purely recreational capabilities of the van, I often used to sit (and buckle up) in the back and do hours of work with my laptop on the table while my wife drove on long trips (see photo), using my phone as a wifi hotspot and an inverter plugged into one of the rear 12v jacks for power. VW vans may not often be thought of as mobile business centers, but that’s exactly what they can be when you need them to!

VW boss confirms Subaru-aping Golf Alltrack for US
Fri, Nov 21 2014Subaru needs to watch out, because the Japanese brand with a utilitarian image has a big bull's eye on its back. Not only is Acura considering going 100-percent all-wheel drive in a bid to mimic the successful automaker, Volkswagen has just confirmed that the Golf Alltrack is coming to the US as another competitor for Subaru's popular Outback crossover. Volkswagen Group of America CEO Michael Horn has confirmed the addition of the higher-riding, all-wheel drive version of the Golf SportWagen to Automotive News, indicating that the model will arrive in the US in 2016. "That's what our dealers, our customers, are asking us for," he said to the industry publication. The Golf Alltrack, which debuted at the Paris Motor Show in early October, has an extra 0.75 inches of ride height and protective black cladding all the way around. Its biggest mechanical differentiator from other Golfs is its Haldex all-wheel drive system, a setup that can completely unhook from the rear axle when not needed to save fuel. In Europe, the Alltrack is available with a turbocharged 1.8-liter with 178 horsepower and two diesels offering between 109hp and 182 hp. However, Horn made no mention of likely powertrains for the US. Horn tells Automotive News that all-wheel drive tooling is currently being installed at the Puebla, Mexico, factory where the standard Golf Sportwagen is built. VW might have tipped its hand about this possibility several months ago when press shots of the wagon were released for the US with TDI and 4Motion badges. Horn says he expects even the front-wheel drive version to be a sales hit here, suggesting it may eventually account for 50 percent of the Golf range's volume.
Everybody's doing flying cars, so why aren't we soaring over traffic already?
Mon, Oct 1 2018"Where's my flying car?" has been the meme for impending technology that never materializes since before there were memes. And the trough of disillusionment for vehicles that can take to sky continues to nosedive, despite a nonstop fascination with flying cars and a recent rash of announcements about the technology, particularly from traditional automakers. Earlier this month, Toyota applied for an eye-popping patent for a flying car that has wheels with spring-loaded pop-out helicopter rotors. The patent filing says the wheels/rotors would be electrically powered, while in on-land mode the vehicle would have differential steering like tracked vehicles such as tanks and bulldozers. At an airshow in July, Aston Martin unveiled its Volante Vision Concept, an autonomous hybrid-electric vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) vehicle it developed with Rolls-Royce. Aston says the Volante can fly at top speeds of around 200 mph and bills it as a luxury car for the skies. Audi used the Geneva Motor Show in March to unveil a flying car concept called the Pop.Up Next it developed with Airbus and Italdesign. If the Pop.Up Next, an electric and autonomous quadcopter/city car combo, gets stuck in traffic, an app can be used to summon an Airbus-developed drone to pick up the passenger compartment pod, leaving the chassis behind. Audi said that the Pop.Up Next is a "flexible on-demand concept that could open up mobility in the third dimension to people in cities." But Audi also acknowledged that at this point it has no plans to develop it. The cash-stoked, skies-the-limit Silicon Valley tech crowd is also bullish on flying cars. The startup Kitty Hawk that's backed by Google co-founder Larry Page announced in June that it's taking pre-orders for its single-seat electric Flyer that's powered by 10 propellers and is capable of vertical takeoffs and landings. The current version can only fly up to 20 mph and 10 feet in the air and has a flight time of just 12 to 20 minutes on a full charge. The Flyer is considered a recreational vehicle, so doesn't require a pilot's license. Uber says it plans to launch its more ambitious Elevate program and UberAIR service in 2023. "Uber customers will be able to push a button and get a flight on-demand with uberAIR in Dallas, Los Angeles and a third international market," Uber Elevate promises on its website.
10 automakers sued over keyless ignitions
Thu, Aug 27 2015Keyless ignition has rapidly proliferated throughout the auto industry to become a fairly normal feature on new cars. It's supposed to offer the convenience of keeping the fob in your pocket and just pressing a button to drive away. However, ten major automakers are now being sued in US District Court over claims that the system is dangerous, Reuters reports. The suit alleges that people are forgetting to shut off the engine, and the lack of an idle timer is the cause for 13 deaths by carbon monoxide poisoning and multiple injuries. The suit currently includes 28 plaintiffs, according to Reuters, but the lawyers are asking for class-action status to potentially add many more. The case goes after a major swath of the industry, including BMW, Daimler, FCA, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Nissan, Toyota, and Volkswagen, plus their related brands like Acura, Infiniti, Mini, and Lexus. In all, over five million vehicles are affected. The assertion here is that people walk away from their vehicle without shutting it off because they believe the engine shuts off automatically. If parked in a garage, carbon monoxide can build up, leading to poisoning. The lawyers claim automakers know this is a problem and also cite 27 complaints to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration about the issue, according to Reuters. The plaintiffs are asking for an automatic shut-off and damages from the companies. These concerns have come up before, though. Toyota previously faced a lawsuit over a carbon monoxide death after a woman accidentally left her Lexus running. Also earlier this year, GM recalled 64,186 examples of the 2011-2013 Chevrolet Volt because owners weren't shutting them off. The problem resulted in two injuries, and the company released a software update to limit the idling time.
