Tiguan Is Europe's Best SUV

Ulrich Hackenberg, VW's executive board member for development, accepts the Auto 1 award for the Tiguan.

How can 40-million people possibly be wrong? This is how many voted the Volkswagen Tiguan as Europe's best SUV.

Initially, 40-million readers of 26 European issues of Auto Bild voted for their respective national winners and favorites in six categories.

Then the top three in each category were put through their paces on a testing ground by race drivers, technicians and auto journalists.

The Tiguan is the winner in the SUV category and gets the coveted Auto 1 trophy (pictured).

The Tiguan hit the European market last fall and will arrive in North America by summer.

The all New Volkswagen Scirocco

Volkswagen AG finally reveals the long awaited new generation of the legendary Scirocco. Slightly different from the scIROCco concept VW has been working on for the past 2 years.

The new sports coupe offers 4 different diesel and gas engines offering from 122 to 200 horse power. The dual exhaust pipes are now coupled together at one side, rather than separated with one at each side. Power is routed to the front 17-inch alloy wheels via a six-speed manual transmission — optional are six- and seven-speed dual-clutch automatics.

The panoramic sunroof and touch-screen navigation are two key options os the all new Volkswagen scirocco.

Volkswagen AG is not planning on bringing the new Scirocco to North America - afraid to kill the GTI and 2008 R32 sales. However, this decision may change in the future.

CarWaterFuel.com

CarWaterFuel.com is one of our latest websites. It discusses the controversial subject, a method that suggest you can Convert Your Car to Run on Water.

The Hydrogen fuel technology has been around for over 100 years. Huge Oil Companies have been trying to make it seem as a myth, however numerous TV reports on such known networks as FOX revealed the truth - it is possible to run your car on water.

Now Wait! Do not put water in your gas tank as yet!
The technology does not allow you to run a car uniquely on water. The hydrogen extracted from water is mixed it with gas - this increases your gas mileage and decreases the exhaust emissions.

If you are interested to find out more about on this subject - feel free to visit our website: Convert Your Car to Run on Water.

RaVe: The 270-Horse 2.0T Concept

Volkswagen's RaVe 270 concept showcases the enormous potential of the automaker's award-winning 2.0T engine.

In current production form, in vehicles such as the GTI and Jetta GLI, this turbocharged four-cylinder generates 200 horsepower. At most, it puts out 230 horses in Europe's 30th-anniversary GTI. In the RaVe 270, however, the 2.0T churns out an impressive 270 horses.

This is VW's most powerful four-cylinder ever.

Modifications were made to the turbocharger, intercooling and engine electronics.

With 4Motion all-wheel drive, the Jetta SportWagen-based RaVe is approaching high-performance territory occupied by Subaru's Impreza WRX and Mitsubishi's Evolution.

From zero to 60 MPH goes by in less than 5.8 seconds, VW says. Top speed is 155 MPH.

One drawback is that the engine requires super-grade fuel.

Other innovations of the RaVe 270 include a 1,400-watt sound system with 13 speakers and subwoofers, sport seats, Biscay Blue paint, an extended hood over xenon headlights and LED daytime running lights, LED taillights, quad exhaust pipes, rear diffuser, 19-inch alloy wheels, 18-inch Brembo brakes, lowered suspension, plus numerous exterior styling bits.

The RaVe 270 is on display at the Essen auto show.

Volkswagen Touareg R50

What you see on this page is the ultimate sporting interpretation of Volkswagen's mighty Touareg SUV.

The R50 is equipped with a modified V10 TDI diesel that launches it down the road with 350 horsepower and a massive 627 pound-feet of torque — up from 313 and 553, respectively, in the regular-production Touareg.

Adjustments were made to the turbocharging and engine management system.

Mated to a six-speed automatic transmission, the R50 is good for a zero-to-60-MPH sprint of under 6.7 seconds, nearly 10-percent quicker than that of the lesser Touareg (7.4 seconds). The top speed is 146 MPH.

Fuel economy is still relatively decent at around 19 MPG in the city, 24 on the highway.

The R50's exterior is designed like the GTI-based R32 and Passat-based R36 before it — which means a Biscay Blue paint job, gigantic 21-inch multi-spoke alloy wheels, blue brake calipers, wheel-well flares, lowered sport suspension, aerodynamic kit and chrome grille with matt finish.

Optional colors are Campanella White, Reflex Silver, Black Magic and Atacam Gray.

Inside are heated front and rear leather sport seats, plus metal trim and accents.

The Touareg R50 is not intended for the North American market but we do get the lesser, still quite sporting and very capable, V10 TDI.

Is It Possible to Run My Car on Water?

Is It Possible to Run My Car on Water?

I came across couple of videos on youtube that allow you to run your car water - well not completely, but the water is used to boost fuel economy up to 207%. I have not tried it yet, but I think I will be ordering the information. Here is a part of the description from the site

"We have developed devices that use a little electricity out of your car's battery, to separate water into a gas called HHO (2 Hydrogen + 1 Oxygen). HHO, also called Brown's Gas or Hydroxy, burns beautifully and provides TONS of energy - while the end product is just WATER! Mobile Magazine says HHO provides the atomic power of Hydrogen, while maintaining the chemical stability of water.

CAN I GENERATE "FREE ENERGY" IN MY CAR???
You can! But how? Miracles? No, no, no. You generate free energy by ENHANCING the EFFICIENCY of your poorly designed engine!!! Your engine uses 20% of the energy stored in that expensive gasoline - and WASTES 80% for heat, pollution (unburned fuel!) and vibration. Reducing waste with our technology = "free energy" for you! Read on."

What I like about the product before even buyng it - they offer a 56 Full Money Back Guarantee.
If you don't like what they offer - you get the refund, no questions asked.

For more information feel free to visit the website here

Euro Cars

Eurocars Euro CarsToday I was browsing youtube for Euro Cars. And I found some interesting videos such as Euro Cars vs American Cars, Euro Cars are the best and many other Euro Cars related videos. I noticed that most of these videos (not all... I said most) promote euro cras and bash the american rides. Now I do not agree with those statments.

Sure, I prefer euro cars, that's why I owned 5 Volkswagens so far, but I think American cars have a great story and history as well. Especially Ford or even the less reputable and currently downfalling GM. These are cars as well, and I think we all should respect its admireres and makers - if they like it - there is a reason.
We, eurocars lovers, might not understand these reasons, low fuel efficency and the huge weight of these cars - but they do.

Volkswagen makes v8 and even v10 engines as well. And there are some pretty ugly euro cars on the market, especially from Eastern Europe - these are still eurocars.

SPY Photos, Volkswagen Rabbit 2010.

I bet the title of this post excites you!? Well calm down... The 2010 Rabbit seems to be no different from the 2006 models. Of course except some minor design changes, a sligh "make-up" if you will. Front end might be a little different and things like the size of the doors... It will most likely keep carrying the 5 cylinder 2.5L engine or even more popular 4 cylinder engine for fuel economy reasons - which might be a downgdrade for allready very modest 150hp (170 in 2007 models). If 2009 Diesel Jetta will sell on North American market, the new 2010 Rabbit MIGHT get a Diesel engine as an option - but non of it has been confirmed be Volkswagen AG.
The 2010 Rabbit will make its debute in Europe in early 2008 as a Golf, and will most likely be available in the United states and Canada ib 2009.

Just a funny VW commercial

Volkswagen up! concept

Another concept, proudly announced by Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn... rear-engine, 4 seats, 3 door. Possibly will also be available in 5 doors or even convertible.

Measuring a tiny 3,450mm in length and 1,630mm in width, the Up is capable of carrying four passengers. Yet those German ingeneers come up with a new design for upcoming cars. Rumors state the UP! will carry a turbocharged 1.4L engine, curently in the Golf GT.

Volkswagen's administration just had to come up with somwthing to beat the Yaris and Suzuki Swift.
Don't get too excited, the release is not planned anywhere before 2011.

I must add, I hardly doubt the availability if this car in North America.

Women chose the best car of the year!

First Ever Women's Car Awards
Judged by women for women

The Evercar.com - Car website by women for women has chosen the VW Eos as the best car of the year. It topped the shortlist of 27 cars sold in UK.

Alex Jenner-Fust, editor of evecars.com said: "Our winner had to excel in its category and have a wider appeal. Volkswagen's Eos is a car you can buy because you love it, and because it makes perfect sense. It’s a convertible without the potential weakness of a cloth roof, practical enough to carry four, but sexy, too. While it feels sporty to drive, it's not so demanding you couldn’t drive it every day."

Every car was given a thorough inspection and judges looked at how easy is was to find a good driving position, get into and out of the back seats, fit a child seat and pack the boot.
The cars were then put through their paces on winding country lanes and fast sections of dual carriageway as well as being manoeuvred around a couple of tight parking spaces.

Volkswagen to change the Logo in 2008!

The German Car Blog is reporting that VW chief Martin Winterkorn has decided to refresh the world known VW Logo.
It seems like the new Golf VI will get a new logo in 2008. The V and the W in the logo will be more separated and will appear more 3-D, but overall look will remain the same. VolkswagenAG does not believe this change would affect their sales in any kind of way.

AutoModder has launched!

The free automibile customizer has launched recently. Still in beta version, it's attracting hundreds of new users daily, since the DubModder started charging a fee for its use.

At this moment only Mark 4 Golf/Gti/Jetta could be modified on the site.

Volkswagen Golf V R32 US Pricing

sponsored by: Car-Auction.com




MSRP of $32,990
Volkswagen of America, Inc. announced today that its hottest hatchback, the new 2008 R32 will make its highly anticipated debut in the United States this autumn. I think the image explains the look and the feel of the brand new mk5 .:R32.

3.2 liter naturally aspirated narrow angle VR6 engine, which provides 250 horsepower and 236 ft. lbs. of torque. This unique and potent engine is combined with Volkswagen’s gripping 4Motion® all-wheel-drive system. Rounding out the drivetrain package is the highly praised Volkswagen dual clutch DSG® transmission, which allows for seamless gear changes and helps the R32 to accelerate from 0-60 in approximately 6.4 seconds.

I will be posting more specs on the hot hatch later this week.

Volkswagen and the Pope

sponsored by: Car-Auction.com



Pope Benedict XVI just recieved a gift from VW boss, Dr. Bernd Pischetsrieder... the keys of a long-wheelbase 6.0-liter, 450-bhp Phaeton.

This is not the Holy Father's first VW. As plain old Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, he used to drive around Rome in a MkIV Golf, which was subsequently sold for $250,000. Blessed are those with strongresidual values.

No Scirocco for Canada and the USA. (?!)

Driver's magazine confirmed that the new Vw Scirocco, a.k.a. IROC will not be making its way to the North America.
Volkswagen of America CEO claims there is no market for such a car. Lots of us, car-lovers disagree, so does the Volkswagen AG.

Many people claim that Scirocco will not be sold in the US and Canada, in couple of years. Why such a delay?
Simple. VWofA wants to make all the money possible with the 2 new hot hatches; the 2.0T GTI and the 2.5L new Rabbit.

My personal concern is that at this exact moment VAG (Volkswagen Auto Groupe) offers over 13 different NEW models. In Canada only 7 new models are available.

Why can't we enjoy the fuel economy of a 1.4L Fox or Polo,
sapcious suv Touran and/or Sharar or the confort of the Phaeton? Let's not forget the Caddy Life, Multivan and the upcoming Scirocco and the Tiguan?




I guess the fact that VwofA dictates the VwAG of what to sell in the North America...

Estimated VW Launch Dates

These launch dates are based on various sources and reports. They may not be confirmed or official from Volkswagen.

Europe
Phaeton: 2011
Station: 2009
Mk. VI Golf: late 2008

VW Eos has second best resale value in UK !

Post sponsored by: Car Auctions!



A study done by EurotaxGlass, shows that the Eos, or more specifically an Eos 2.0L TDI Sport, has the second best resale value in the UK, bright after the #1 the Ferrari F430 Spider. This puts Volkswagen in some pretty good company at the top.

During the 12 months study, Ferrari F430 Spider maintained 97% of its value and the Eos kept 94% of its value. Of all the vehicles they tested, only these two managed to lose less that 10% of their value.

Not bad for the Eos' first year and it's yet another reason to get an Eos just as the Summer season begins...

That's one shiny seat bottom. To celebrate this (pardon the pun) milestone, Saab has given Gilbert one shiny new Saab 9-5 Aero. And, for 2007, the company has pledged to do the same for any American customer who equals this feat in a Saab they bought new (see www.saabusa.com for all the details).

Introduction

Hi. I'm Alex, at this moment at my first Volkswagen - and I just can't get enough of European cars. Audi, Volkswagen, BMW... and so many more! So I've decided to create a blog, share pictures, news and tips with all of you around the internet. My goal is to update this blog daily with content about european cars, euro car shows and scene.

Since I do live in Canada, most of the news will be about North American car event, allthough don't hesitate e-mailing me if you live in Europe or Asia or elsewhere, and I will most likely add your content or news to this blog!
