Wolfsburg, Germany - Len Hunt, the ebullient head of Volkswagen in North America, says that the new Passat is the first car to show the company's future direction in the United States. "VW is affordable German engineering, fun to drive, and distinctive European styling," he says. With VW's sales tanking in the first six months of the year, the Passat
and the Jetta have to succeed. The new Jetta is a good car, but it suffers from bland styling and was introduced with its least appealing powertrain-a mistake that VW won't repeat, says Hunt, now that Wolfgang Bernhard is VW's product supremo. VW already has introduced the Passat in 2.0T form with a base price of $23,565, while the 3.6L goes on sale this month at $30,565. We went to Germany to drive the 3.6, which uses a VR6 engine that has a narrow 10.6-degree included angle and cylinder banks staggered relative to each other. The engine makes 280 hp and 265 lb-ft of torque, which would put the front tires under duress without the standard stability control system. The VR6 is mated to a six-speed manu-matic transmission, driving either the front or all four wheels. The new Passat is an imposing car that's bigger inside and out than the outgoing version. It's three inches longer and three inches wider and has 2.4 inches additional rear legroom. It isn't quite as beautifully wrought inside as the old car, because there is hard plastic evidence of cost-cutting measures. Still, the fit and finish are in line with the best Japanese makers and more attractively designed to boot. The 3.6L V6 comes well equipped, with front, side, and side curtain air bags, stability control, and active front headrests as standard. A luxury package adds leather,dual-zone climate control
, and heated front seats; a sport package offers sport seats, steering-wheel shift buttons, and a lowered and stiffened suspension. Stand-alone options include a navigation system.
On the road, the engine sounds great and produces enough power for a claimed 0-to-60-mph time of 6.6 seconds. The car feels much more coherent than the old one, with a very stiff structure, excellent steering, and fully house-trained front-wheel-drive manners. On the optional eighteen-inch wheels and tires, the ride is stiff over expansion joints, but the trade-off is well-controlled body motions. The Passat 3.6L V6 is really fine, although it's admirable rather than exciting to drive. And while a well-equipped car undercuts an Audi A6 3.2, it is quite pricey compared with sportier Japanese cars such as the Acura TL and the Infiniti G35. Then again, the V-6 model is expected to account for just 25 percent of Passat sales, and on this evidence, it looks more like a bargain luxury car than an expensive family sedan

2014 VW Golf brings storied hatchback's seventh generation to US
Wed, 27 Mar 2013The seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf in US-specification officially debuts at the 2013 New York Auto Show. The new model is the first VW in the States to ride on the company's MQB architecture, and as such, it makes use of plenty of high-strength and ultra-high-strength steel to keep weight down. All told, the new shell is 51 pounds lighter than the outgoing generation, despite the fact that the finished car is a full 2.2 inches longer and .5 inches wider than the 2013 model.
Buyers can expect to find a base model powered by a 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine (blue car above) with 170 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque. That means the powerplant delivers the same horsepower as the old naturally aspirated 2.5-liter four-cylinder while weighing less and producing seven extra pound-feet of torque. TDI (silver car above) buyers, meanwhile, will enjoy a new 2.0-liter turbo diesel four-cylinder mill. VW says the engine yields 10 more horsepower than the old lump, which means the Golf TDI now boasts 150 hp and 236 lb-ft of torque.
GTI (red car above) buyers will now get their hands on a revised 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with approximately 210 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque - Volkswagen hasn't finalized power numbers for that machine. We're happy to see that the GTI still features its trademark plaid seats. Volkswagen says the new Golf and GTI will go on sale as a 2015 model, but doesn't say when the car will actually hit dealerships.
eBay Find of the Day: Unrestored Herbie Love Bug movie car
Wed, Dec 10 2014Well before Cars ever hit the screens, The Love Bug series of Disney films – starring Herbie the VW Beetle with a mind of its own – was an early introduction to cars and racing for many budding auto fans. Not the modern remake starring Lindsay Lohan mind you, but the originals from the '60s and '70s. Now, a seller in Texas claims to be offering a chance to own one of the Bugs from the films on eBay Motors. According to the auction, this Beetle didn't appear in the original film but was built for the sequel Herbie Rides Again in 1972 and also appeared in the third installment Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo. This VW was prepared as the blind-drive car for the movies that attached a low-mounted chair in the back and extended controls to let Herbie look like he was driving himself. Although, some of the photos here show the Bug with regular seats fitted, too. This Herbie was reportedly found in a Florida warehouse a few years ago. It was then made operable, while trying to keep it as original as possible. The exterior underwent a slight restoration with input from former Disney special effects staff, according to the seller. The changes added new graphics and rebuilt the blind drive setup. Judging by these pictures, the rest of the interior was left mostly untouched, though. Of course, anyone interested in buying a movie car is going to want proof of its authenticity. The seller claims to have the original California title showing the buyer as Disney in 1972. The Bug also reportedly has a unique rear decklid that mixes early and later parts to help identify it in the film. As of this writing, bidding for Herbie sits at $55,100 with 82 bids and a reserve not yet met. The sale closes on Saturday, December 13.
