1985 Volkswagen Vanagon Weekender Westfalia on 2040-cars
Oakland, California, United States

"Muddy Waters" is looking for a good home!
She is a 1985 Westfalia Weekender with a fold-up table (instead of the kitchen/fridge), a backseat that pulls out into a full bed, great storage, pop-top with 2nd bed upstairs, plush front seats, and tinted windows! We bought her about two years ago and then put in about $8k of work to rebuild the engine (at Buslab in Berkeley), as well as replaced the windshield and the steering. The car drives perfectly now. We frequently take her for long trips with no issues, as well as use her for errands around town or just day-to-day commuting. The odometer stopped working a long time ago, maybe in the 90's, so we're not sure how many miles she has, but we guess its around 150k. Since we rebuilt much of the engine we've probably put around 5k more miles on. There is definitely wear & tear on the body and many parts inside -- some dents, cracked dashboard, etc. There is a small rip in the canvas of the pop-top. But in general the car is in great shape, it's mostly cosmetic, the core is really healthy. The tires were new-ish when we got the car but need to be replaced soon. We love this car and camp with it frequently all over Northern California. We are only selling her because we're moving -- so we're hoping to find a good home with folks who appreciate the Westy Magic. Let us know if you'd like to come take a look! |

VW exec calls US ops a 'disaster'
Thu, 23 Jan 2014Today in the Tell Us How You Really Feel file we have Bernd Osterloh, head of Volkswagen AG's Group Works Councils and member of the company's supervisory board, labeling the company's US operations "a disaster." Why? Because Osterloh believes VW of America doesn't have the models it needs to be competitive here, hasn't been decisive enough about its plans and German higher-ups still don't understand the US market.
In truth, the top labor rep at the German conglomerate is echoing sentiments we've heard from VWoA executives for years, and there's been the same commentary from dealers: Germany doesn't pay enough attention to what the US market really wants. Even ex-VWoA CEO Stefan Jacoby, who preceded the recently departed Jonathan Browning, said early in his tenure that one of his tasks was to get his German bosses to start delivering what the US market demanded. New CEO Michael Horn is saying much the same thing seven years later, telling Sky News that it has to increase "the speed at which we bring new models to the market and innovation to the market."
Osterloh wants to get "more models" here, including a pickup truck, but we'd wonder if the economics have changed from when Jacoby said they'd need to sell 100,000 per year to make money. Osterloh also wants a decision on where the CrossBlue will be built. Although it looked as if the Chatanooga, TN plant would get the call, the Puebla, Mexico plant is still in the running because of lower operating costs. No matter what happens right now, Osterloh thinks the situation won't get better for another two years when revamped models arrive, but at least the company can start taking the steps for a better US future.
Volkswagen Tiguan and Touareg take the R-Line
Mon, 14 Jan 2013
Volkswagen's Detroit Auto Show presence is big on utility this year, with the CrossBlue three-row concept vehicle occupying the lion's share of the limelight, both literally and figuratively. But that isn't stopping Volkswagen from lavishing attention on its already established crossover and sport utility vehicles with new R-Line derivatives. The Tiguan and its big brother Touareg are getting a host of look-faster items to increase their sporting appeal.
On the outside, the Tiguan R-Line receives handsome 19-inch alloys peering out from beneath fender extensions, premium lighting (bi-Xenon headlamps with LED daytime running lamps), along with matching side skirts and a liftgate spoiler. On the inside, sportier accommodations include aluminum trim and a flat-bottom steering wheel with paddle shifters. As with other R-Line models, there are no powertrain modifications to go with the more aggressive visuals (that being the province of R standalone performance models like the R32), though the suspension has been firmed up an unspecified amount. The Tiguan R-Line will be available in front- or all-wheel drive configuration.
