They Don't Make Them Like This Anymore.

Literally.

For Sale: 2004 VW Touareg with Computer Air Suspension, 306hp V8, plus Towing, Navigation, Roof Rack and Luxury Packages. 125k miles, excellent condition, nearly perfect mechanically, many custom extras, two (2) sets of alloy rims and tires.

This car is a beast.

For towing. In snow. Off road. Or as a user-friendly SUV.

And yet, when you get in, your first reaction to the wood and leather interior will be that it's as luxurious as the very best sedans you've been in.

Really nice.

So where's the BEAST? In the suspension. No springs, no shocks … instead four computer-controlled air pistons. Very competent but very costly. They aren't making it anymore. Too expensive. But, oh my, it delivers astounding performance. You can dial in the "Sport" or "Luxury" response. Or if you want to drive through a snow bank or cross a stream, it will go up like a funny truck. Or if you want to load a kayak or skis on top, it will kneel down like a sedan. Unreal to see it happen. On the performance tires, it will outperform a Porsche 911 through a slalom course … (!).

With the computer-controlled HI/LOW/LOCKING differential, it delivers the best off-road numbers available, short of a military vehicle. Approach/Departure 33 degrees. Breakover 27 degrees. Climb gradient 45 degrees. Fording depth 23 inches. This are real off-road credentials. The Touareg can handle the Baha Dessert. Most SUVs are good for a run though the Taco Bell.

Got horses? Or a big boat? Or a dump trailer? It tows 7 716 pounds! Best in class and better than many pickups. It has a Class IV 10000# hitch with 2" receiver. There's a YouTube showing the Touareg pulling a Boeing 747. No fooling.

Got to get through blizzard conditions no matter what? With all-season tires, the Touareg is very, very, very good in snow. With full "snowflake" tires, it feels like it can climb trees. It has FULL TIME four-wheel drive NOT "all-wheel drive". You will get through.

The other goodies: navigation, premium sound, premium Nappa leather, burl wood trim, custom keyless entry/start, custom dash, parking assist, dual climate system, tiptronic transmission, ABS, ESC, memory seats with power lumbar, premium mats/liner, moon roof, and more. The glove box is engineered as an adjustable wine cooler! Luxury that kicks ass ... and gets stuff done.

All season tires good on four (4) factory 18"x8" alloys. Summer performance tires fair on three (3) premium 20"x10" alloys (see pix). One (1) factory space saver spare mounted in vehicle. One (1) full-size spare mounted on matching factory 18" rim.

Includes factory-custom luggage carrier and aero-profile load bars, rated 220#. Longitudinal tracks are imbedded into the roof; the locking cross-members can be positioned fore and aft easily without tools. Load bars accept T-slot or clamping sport accessories. They can be left on and still clear virtually any garage door opening. Or they can be positioned to the rear as an attractive trim spoiler or removed completely for the seasons. Best of all, when you load something on top, the Touareg will drop to the height of a normal sedan on the air positions. Note the wheel well pix showing the range of motion over the tire.

The two pix showing the 20" rims mounted are not current. Dealer serviced, full maintenance record, clean CarFax, freshly serviced, new battery. No known mechanical defects.

For the people who want this special capability, this is a really special car.

Did I mention BEAST?

Andretti Autosport partners with Volkswagen for Global Rallycross season

Tue, 14 Jan 2014

Michael Andretti and Volkswagen have both been involved in Global Rallycross for a couple of years, but not together. Andretti Motorsports Marketing organized the final round of the 2012 GRC series in Las Vegas, and there were rumors then that Andretti was going to get in. Around the same time there were news reports that Volkswagen was preparing a 600-hp Polo Mk5 to race in the SuperCar class; the photo above is racer Anton Marklund in his privateer Marklund Motorsports Polo at the 2013 X-Games round in Los Angeles.
Now it's official: Andretti Autosport will campaign the 2014 GRC season with VWs. That's all that's been said for now, Andretti being busy at the moment launching four entries for IndyCar, two for Indy Lights and two for Pro Mazda. We have a feeling we'll be seeing the MkVII Golf involved, but the cars and the driver lineup will be presented at the Chicago Auto Show on February 6.

VW redoes A-ha's 'Take On Me' music video

Wed, 18 Sep 2013

Volkswagen has been responsible for its fair share of witty, clever commercials. "Tiny Vader" might be the most popular, but somehow, we think this newest spot will find a big audience. VW delivers not so much a cover, but a reimagining, of 1980s Norwegian pop band A-ha's famous music video for "Take On Me."
The original opens with an animated motorcycle race, which is revealed to be part of a comic book. VW's version replaces the motorcycle with a Passat, which strikes us as an oddly sober choice when there are cars like the GTI and Beetle in VW's portfolio. But never mind that - take a look down below for the entire 46-second spot. For reference, we've also included the original music video. And if you aren't a fan of the musical stylings of A-ha, just think, VW's choice of 1980s music could have been much worse.

2014 VW Golf brings storied hatchback's seventh generation to US

Wed, 27 Mar 2013

The seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf in US-specification officially debuts at the 2013 New York Auto Show. The new model is the first VW in the States to ride on the company's MQB architecture, and as such, it makes use of plenty of high-strength and ultra-high-strength steel to keep weight down. All told, the new shell is 51 pounds lighter than the outgoing generation, despite the fact that the finished car is a full 2.2 inches longer and .5 inches wider than the 2013 model.
Buyers can expect to find a base model powered by a 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine (blue car above) with 170 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque. That means the powerplant delivers the same horsepower as the old naturally aspirated 2.5-liter four-cylinder while weighing less and producing seven extra pound-feet of torque. TDI (silver car above) buyers, meanwhile, will enjoy a new 2.0-liter turbo diesel four-cylinder mill. VW says the engine yields 10 more horsepower than the old lump, which means the Golf TDI now boasts 150 hp and 236 lb-ft of torque.
GTI (red car above) buyers will now get their hands on a revised 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with approximately 210 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque - Volkswagen hasn't finalized power numbers for that machine. We're happy to see that the GTI still features its trademark plaid seats. Volkswagen says the new Golf and GTI will go on sale as a 2015 model, but doesn't say when the car will actually hit dealerships.
