Fantastic little pickup truck. 50 mpg at 65mph on the highway! The truck is currently a daily driver and is averaging 45 mpg between city and highway. It starts right up every time, runs, shifts and drives very nicely. 5 speed manual transmission. Very smooth and straight on the highway. The interior is a nice butterscotch/ caramel color and in pretty decent shape for it's age. The truck came from California this year and is rust free! Looks like it has underbody coating everywhere underneath the truck and a built in block heater. The block heater cord is conveniently accessed right behind the front bumper for easy plug in during the winter months. Truck bed coating throughout the bed and the bumpers as well. Set up for light towing with a 2" hitch ball and plug for trailer lights. The paint job is aftermarket (not factory) and I would rate it about a 7 out of 10 overall. The truck looks great but it is fairly old so don't expect it to be "like new". Exterior lights all work but the interior does not. Clock works great, speedometer is bouncy (speedometer gear is solid, I am installing a new speedometer cable in the next day or two which should settle it down). The truck has a new timing belt, new water pump, new alternator, and new injection pump! Passenger seat is in great shape. The driver's seat was torn but tastefully patched. Currently no headliner. I have the backing piece which would need a new piece of fabric. One layer of sound deadening coating has been applied to the roof so far. All of the glass is solid and crack free! The sliding part of the rear window to the truck bed was replaced with a plexiglass piece. The heat works great. The truck has AC and cruise control however the AC is empty (I have not tried to charge it yet but I did test the compressor clutch and it engaged as it should) and the cruise does not seem to work (I have not checked it out at all). New wiper blades. New dash speakers. CV boots on the axles look good. Comes with matching topper, a full tank of diesel and will get a fresh oil and filter change just before the sale! I will get a picture with the topper on the truck in the next day or two. This truck gets compliments and comments everywhere I go! Rare, looks great, drives great and better mileage than you will find on many hybrid cars! Thanks for looking, and good luck!

Skoda unveils Volkswagen Up!-based Citigo

Tue, 27 Sep 2011

This is the all-new Skoda Citigo, and if you're thinking that it looks rather familiar, that's because its Volkswagen-badged kin recently debuted at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show. That's right, the long-rumored Skoda version of Volkswagen's new Up! city car has finally arrived.
Buyers will have a choice of two 1.0-liter three-cylinder engines - one with 59 horsepower, the other with a 74 hp and a blistering 106 mph top speed - both mated to a five-speed manual transmission. Powerful they are not, but these three-bangers should prove to be extremely efficient, with Skoda quoting fuel economy numbers of 62.8 and 60.1 miles per gallon, respectively (on the European cycle).
Being a Skoda, the Citigo will go on sale in its home market of the Czech Republic this fall, with the rest of Europe getting the car next summer. Follow the jump for Skoda's official release.

Tanner Foust checks out his new VW Beetle GRC rally car

Thu, 11 Sep 2014

Racing driver and Top Gear USA host Tanner Foust is a very busy guy. After all, he's competing in rounds of both Global Rallycross series and FIA World Rallycross Championship, not to mention his TV duties. However, we probably shouldn't feel too sorry for him, because his job puts him behind the wheel of some truly crazy machinery.
Case in point is his latest ride in Global Rallycross - the Volkswagen Beetle GRC. The German company claims that this all-wheel drive Bug makes around 540 horsepower from its 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder and can shoot to 60 in under 2 seconds. Plus, if this video is any indication, this Volkswagen sounds like a machine gun when throwing revs at idle, and it can do some wonderfully easy four-wheel drifts.
Previously, Foust was driving a VW Polo for Andretti Autosport in GRC, but the team unveiled the look of the Beetle GRC at the Chicago Auto Show. Now, Foust is finally getting to show off his new office to the public, and like VW's tagline for the new car claims, it's way hotter than Herbie.

Volkswagen e-Co-Motion concept poised for delivery to Geneva

Sat, 02 Mar 2013

With Nissan getting ready to launch the e-NV200, it appears Volkswagen is looking to go after the same zero-emission commercial vehicle market with the all-electric 2013 e-Co-Motion Concept. Debuting next week at the Geneva Motor Show, the e-Co-Motion Concept might be small in size, but VW says it has cargo and payload capacities that should be perfect for small businesses.
Measuring 179 inches long, 75 inches wide and 77 inches tall, the e-Co-Motion Concept has about the same footprint as the current Golf, and it has a cargo capacity of 162 cubic feet and a maximum payload of more than 1,700 pounds. There isn't too much information on the e-Co-Motion just yet - such as what electric components and platform are used - but the press release posted below states while the concept is shown as a cargo van, future body styles could include a passenger wagon or a refrigerated box van.
