Scottsdale, Arizona, United States
2004 Volkswagen Golf R32 4Motion
We refer to it as the Purple People Eater, or the SleepR. Yes, it really is an R32. VIN# WVWKG61J74D127583. Clean title, clean Carfax. Just under 109k. Originally a Reflex Silver R32. Still silver under the Matte Purple Royal wrap. This car is loaded with extras and a blast to drive. Lots of compliments on this "nice GTI". If you can handle people not knowing you have an R32, and if you can handle the attention it brings, this may be the car for you. We understand that this car may not be for everyone, but definitely a unique R32. First off, the front and rear bumpers have obviously been swapped for non-R bumpers. The front is a 337 bumper and lower valance. The rear bumper is the 337 with Euro TDI valance. No cut out. The dual tip exhaust is behind the valance, modified to point down. We do not have the OEM bumpers, so please do not ask for them. Side mirrors have been swapped for Euro stubby mirrors. Rear hatch completely shaved. Hood notch filled and badgeless grill up front. The interior still has all it's original OEM Koenig seats. They are the full leather seats. They are in great shape. All OEM interior parts and pieces that you would expect to find on an R32. iPod iPhone connection to the OEM factory radio. Interior is in great shape. Exterior has recently been wrapped with 3M material. Color is called Matte Purple Royal. In the door jams, and engine bay you will still see the silver paint. The wrap is only a few weeks old so it is in great shape. No damage on the vinyl. This R has a bunch of extras: Wheels are CCW Classics - Fronts 18x9.5, Rears 18x10 42 Draft Design 15mm 5x100-5x112 Adaptors Techtonics Tuning 264/260 24V Billet Cams ECS Cold Air Intake Morosco catch can w/ AN fittings and braided line Bluewater Performance/UM E85 tune, Stage 1 Bluewater Performance Fuel Rail, Fuel Pressure Regulator, AN fittings and braided lines HPA Competition Haldex Controller Integrated Engineering SAI block off plate JDL Prototype Mid Pipe JDL 24V R32 Prototype Headers Vmaxx coilovers Custom Magnaflow Catback Exhaust Autotech Drilled and Slotted Rotors - front and rear USP Motorsports Stainless Steel Brake Lines Porsche Brake Pads HPA short shifter Mishimoto Radiator Mishimoto Oil Cooler AEM UEGO Gauge 42 Draft Design B Pillar Gauge mount Defi Oil Temp Gauge We do not have any extra or stock parts for this car.

Volkswagen considering a four-door, four-seat XL1
Fri, 22 Aug 2014According to a report in Autocar, Volkswagen might have more in mind for the XL1 than mining it for advances to grace the next-generation Golf. Aiming to fight the Honda FCEV due for public consumption next year, we're told VW executives have put a four-door, four-seater version of the XL1 - it could be called XL2 - on the drawing board. The impetus is said to come from the top, with VW Group chairman Ferdinand Piëch intent on staying in the deep end of "super-efficent vehicles."
Autocar suspects the necessary changes could raise the weight of the car from 1,749 pounds to 2,068 pounds, which would make it four pounds less than the 2,072-pound Up! we drove a few years ago. Crucially, however, the mag thinks the extra capacity wouldn't change the two-seater's 310-mile-per-gallon rating, with tech tweaks and the aerodynamic benefit of a longer car offsetting the weight. Speculation is that the back seats would be staggered like the fronts in order to maintain the XL1's overall profile.
We recently heard about another XL1 variant that's gone off the radar entirely, the Ducati-engined XLR that we thought we'd see at the Geneva Motor Show and that was said to be going into production, so this one could go the same way. The biggest hurdle to making such an idea a reality, though, could be the price: the current XL1 costs 110,000 euros ($146,116). If VW really is going to compete with the Honda FCEV and the Toyota FCV - $70,000 in Japan - that might be where it wants to start.
Anti-union group files lawsuit against VW and UAW
Fri, 14 Mar 2014The fight for unionization at Volkswagen's Chattanooga, TN, factory isn't letting up. Yesterday, the National Labor Relations Board decided to allow anti-United Auto Workers employees at the plant the right to defend voting down the measure. Now, a group called the National Right to Work Foundation has filed a federal lawsuit on behalf of five workers against VW and the UAW for allegedly working together to organize.
The group says in a release that it wants "to block further collusion between the company and the United Auto Workers." It alleges that VW forced workers to attend "mandatory pro-union meetings" and prevented managers from opposing. In a rebuttal on its website, the UAW called the claims "baseless" and said its actions were entirely legal.
One possible problem faces the carmaker in regards to the lawsuit. According to the Detroit Free Press, a recent US Court of Appeals ruling found that neutrality agreements like the one the business had with the UAW could be illegal if the company provided "things of value" to the union. The newspaper also claims that VW held a mandatory employee meeting concerning the election, but workers were free to leave during the UAW's presentation.
VW agrees to halt next-gen rally car development to help others stay in WRC
Sat, 22 Jun 2013Volkswagen has petitioned the FIA to hold on to the current specifications for cars in the World Rally Championship, according to Autosport.com. The move is evidently an effort to keep as many competitors in the sport as possible, despite the fact that using the current spec racers may actually hurt Volkswagen's chances at winning. The three factory teams currently competing in the WRC are at the end of a three-year homologation cycle at the end of 2013, and new cars are expected to bow next year. But developing new racers could cost as much as $4.7 million.
That price tag would put M-Sport (which fields Ford racers) out of the WRC game for 2014 and would put Citroën participation in question as well. VW has already begun work on the next iteration of its Polo R WRC, and the hatch has nabbed four wins in six rounds this season. Now it appears that car won't bow until at least 2015. The FIA has officially agreed to freeze homologation of new WRC cars until the end of next season.
