Volkswagen Golf Gti 20th Anniversary Hatchback 2-d on 2040-cars
Corsicana, Texas, United States
2003 Volkswagen GTI 20th Anniversary Edition #1706 1 of only 1,000 in Black Magic Pearl color. 1 of only 4,000 20th Anniversary GTIs. After retiring from the Army early 2006 I bought this car as a retirement project. It was a low mileage rebuildable salvage vehicle that the original owner had hit the left front end hard enough to pop the two font airbags, bend the hood, left fender, front bumper, and cracked the bumper cover, radiator and radiator support. It was a fun project where I put the vehicle completely back to stock using all OEM replacements parts and had the repaired areas painted by a local shop. It was then Retitled with a Texas blue title with rebuilt comments and it turned out to a very fun, quick little car that was/is a joy to drive. 1.8 Turbo motor 6sp Manual Transmission Now in 2015 it is still a fun car and only has 62k miles and it runs and drives like it should. During the intervening years; -The car was bumped at a 4 way stop hard enough that it broke the left taillight, cracked the rear bumper cover, and damaged the rear hatch. I picked up some used OEM parts and had that same Body shop fix it up.

Volkswagen Golf voted 2013 European Car of the Year
Tue, 05 Mar 2013The seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf just went on sale in Europe, but it is already off to a promising start.

2014 Volkswagen Beetle GSR is black and yellow, black and yellow
Thu, 07 Feb 2013Way back in 1973, Volkswagen decided it was high time to take the loveable air-cooled Bug racing. No, it wasn't painted in Herbie colors - Volkswagen called its sport-tuned machine the Beetle GSR, "Gelb Schwarzer Renner" or "Yellow Black Racer." Hence, the somewhat shocking paint scheme.
VW is bringing its sporty black and yellow Beetle back for 2014, and you can see live photos of it above. It's got a 210-horsepower turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine under the hood (that'd be the hood up front, unlike the car's forebear), and a six-speed manual or DSG automatic transmission sends those ponies to the front wheels. Note that this car's output is up 10 horses on other turbo VWs, and the Jetta GLI and Beetle Turbo for 2013. The 0-60 run takes 6.6 seconds, and top speed is limited to 130 miles per hour.
Besides the in-your-face black and yellow paint, the GSR is outfitted with a large rear spoiler and 19-inch wheels shod with 235/40 tires. The bee-like hue carries over inside, with yellow stitching on black leather. Only 3,500 will be produced, each with its own unique plaque. Pricing has not yet been announced, but you're free to read through the press release below all the same.
Hyundai tops VW and Buick in China, survey says
Wed, Apr 15 2015You may be aware of the long-time competition in China between Volkswagen and Buick, but another brand apparently should be in that conversation too: Hyundai. In a recently published annual consumer survey, the Korean company actually took the top spot to beat out its German and American rivals in second and third, respectively. The results were part of the China Brand Power Index that interviewed 11,500 people around the nation and was paid for by the country's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. While Hyundai proved popular with voters, its sales haven't necessarily shown that yet. According to Bloomberg, the brand had falling numbers in China for the first quarter of the year. Even Ford outsold the South Korean automaker in the same period, despite scoring lower on the survey. Meanwhile, Audi ranked as the populace's favorite luxury brand, which is hardly a surprise given the Four Rings' strong sales in China. In January alone the automaker saw a 15-percent boost in volume there. Parent company VW's strong performance was somewhat more surprising, though. State media severely criticized the German automaker in March, and customers protested last year for the allegedly poor handling of a recall.
