Uber Cool Volkswagen Beetle Hatchback (new Beetle) on 2040-cars

Uber Cool New Beetle.... Here's a super nice
new beetle that I recently completed. I bought this car in late 2013 with a
plan. The plan was to take a totally stock green beetle and with a few minor
changes, create a one of a kind custom beetle. Although I wanted this car to stand out from the sea of other beetles out there, I still wanted it to look as if it could have come from the factory that way when it was done.... When I bought this car it was
completely stock and in very good condition. It has a super clean Carfax, with
no accident history and below average mileage for it's year. Note: There is a reserve
on this car, but don't be afraid to bid because it is very reasonable. I need to sell this car so I can move on to my next project. As you can see from the
pictures the car is stunning. This is the opposite from what you usually see on
eBay. Usually the car looks better in the pictures then in person. This car
actually looks better in person then in the pictures! It absolutely
"Pops!" in the sunlight. The paint is a single stage Urethane. It is a
metallic dark green with a metallic black roof. The paint was applied in
February of 2014, and has a 3 year warrantee on it. The car did not require any bodywork prior to painting, and it was still wearing it's original paint prior to this paint job. The wheels are brand new Drag 17x7
with brand new Milestar Sport tires sized 225/45/17. It has brand new 1.25" lowering
springs on it that combined with the black roof really lower the profile of the
car. People can't believe this car is a '99, as it looks so current. I've been stopped in parking lots to talk about the car and for people to take pictures of it. I regularly get questioned by people next to me at traffic lights. More then once people click pictures of it as we pass on the road. It gets a lot of good attention, people know it's different, but not why it's different, so they have to ask. The car drives very well,
stops well with it's 4 wheel disk brakes. Goes well with it's 2.0 four cylinder
engine and 5 speed manual transmission. Clutch operation is nice, light and
smooth with no slipping. I average an honest 30mpg with this during my 35 mile
daily commute. Mechanically the car is completely stock apart from the lowering
springs. No silly intakes, no silly exhausts, no tacky gizmos. This car is just
the way VW intended it to be, quiet, safe and reliable, but looks oh so cool...
Hence the name "Uber Cool". The interior is totally stock and in very good shape for it's age. Remember, I started with a good car to begin with. It does suffer from the usual beetle door panel material droop. There is also some splitting on the drivers side bolster where the driver enters and exits the car. The factory stereo works, and has the stock 6 disk CD changer in the trunk that also works. All gauges work great, with no problematic warning lights showing. During my ownership the car has had the following brand new parts: Starter Catalytic converter A-arms with bushings Ball joints Struts Springs Wheels Tires Paint Wiper blades and various service items.The car comes with it's
original owners manual, two sets of keys, and a clean The last two pictures of the car are the rendering I did of it prior to beginning the work, and also a picture of the car as purchased on December 8th 2013, before work began on it. Any questions, please email
me. High bidder can fly in and drive it home. I'll be happy to meet someone at

Touring the Volkswagen Museum in Wolfsburg
Mon, 23 Sep 2013Forgive the ribbon up top - this isn't so much of a Read This as a Look At This. Ran When Parked took a tour of the sprawling Volkswagen Museum in Wolfsburg, and while there's a spot of text about the different and unique vehicles on display in the rotating exhibits, it's largely the collection of pictures of odd, one-off VW-badged cars and vans that excites. If you're a fan of the weird and wild, this is a post you'll want to look at.
As RWP points out, this is the larger, but less busy, museum targeted purely at Volkswagen products. The smaller AutoStadt museum, meanwhile, covers a much broader swath, with products from other Volkswagen Group members.

VW readying CC Shooting Brake?
Mon, 11 Feb 2013This was bound to happen. Volkswagen's relentless drive for big volume has the brand mining seemingly every niche it can find for additional sales worldwide. And with its CLS Shooting Brake, fellow countryman Mercedes-Benz has already shown that a wagon based off of a "four-door coupe" can look dead sexy and command extra dollars. So it follows that the Volkswagen CC (whose existence is all but directly attributable to the success of the original CLS sedan) will also get a load-lugging variant. That's according to the UK's Autocar, which notes that the five-door will come in the CC's next generation.
According to the report, the next CC will be available in front and all-wheel drive variants with the usual assortment of gas and diesel four-cylinders found in the Wolfsburg empire, with the possibility of a gas plug-in hybrid model, too. The rakish estate will ride atop VW's MQB architecture, a shorter variant of which is also found underneath the new Golf. The scalable chassis is set to spread like kudzu throughout the company's lineup, but the CC probably won't happen until after the launch of the next European-market Passat in 2015.
Will we get it in North America? Hard to say. Volkswagen sells the standard CC saloon here, but not in particularly large numbers, and when the company moved to a North American-specific Passat, it dumped the wagon variant. The traditional VW estate apparently continues to pick up sales momentum abroad, however, making the CC Shooting Brake a seemingly natural fit for buyers who still want the utility of a two-box form but can afford to sacrifice a bit of cargo room in the name of style.
VW Beetle R is one mean bug
Wed, 02 Oct 2013Volkswagen's R lineup currently consists of the Golf R in North America, and the too-cool-for-school Scirocco R in Europe. It hasn't exactly been a secret as to which VW would next get the R treatment; the German manufacturer reportedly confirmed that a hotter Beetle would be coming to the US. That announcement, in August 2011, was followed up by a production-ready Beetle R Concept at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show.
After some wait, we're finally seeing spy shots of the Beetle R in Germany. The mule shown in the images here is wearing the R-Line bodykit, which adds sportier front and rear fascias, side skirts, dual exhausts and a not-so-subtle spoiler. Topped off with Volkswagen's traditional, five-spoke R wheels, we'd be just fine with the Beetle R coming to market as is.
Our spy photographer, though, seems to think that the production R will get even sportier sheetmetal, which we take to mean the more assertive look shown on the Frankfurt show car. Larger intakes on the front fascia, a bigger rear spoiler and vertical vents on the rear bumper could all be upcoming. Whether a production model will include the concept's polished wheels (R cars haven't traditionally embraced that look), vented hood and the quad-tipped exhausts remains to be seen.
