New GTI Wins Another Comparison in Motor Trend Magazine

2010-03-13T18:49:00.006-05:00

The award-winning 2010 Volkswagen GTI has earned yet another accolade in the automotive press this month. When compared with the highly rated Mazdaspeed3, Subaru Impreza WRX and the newly introduced Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback Ralliart, the GTI was the ultimate winner thanks to its handling abilities, fit and finish and overall styling to create a very well engineered hot hatch! To quote from one of the editors: 'Not the fastest machine in its class, but far and away the best enthusiast's car. Worth every bit of its bottom line". Check out the full story at http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/hatchbacks/112_1004_mazdaspeed3_mitsubishi_lancer_sportback_ralliart_subaru_wrx_volkswagen_gti/index.html

Volkswagen Introduces the 2011 Touareg

2010-03-11T17:15:00.001-05:00

Volkswagen premiered the all-new Touareg off-road SUV at the 80th annual Geneva International Motor Show. This 2011 model year Touareg is being described by Volkswagen as its most technically innovative production model.

Among the many advances made was to reduce its base weight by almost 500lbs, yet make it more rigid. All models will be fitted with the company 8-speed automatic which helps reduce fuel consumption as well as c02 emissions. Of course, Volkswagen's 4Motion all-wheel drive system with a limited-slip differential will be a standard feature. This enables the rugged Touareg to climb up 31 degree inclines!

Available engines include the V6 TDI making 240hp with a projected 31.8 mpg and a supercharged V6 TSI gas powered engine which will find its way in the Hybrid model. This engine will produce 333hp, yet when working with its electric motor is boosted to 380hp while delivering about 29mpg in a mix of city and highway driving.

Stay tuned for updates on this exciting new model as we recieve them!
