The Volkswagen Golf and its GTI hot-hatch twin might only be six generations old, but the hatchback meant to replace the Beetle is more than 35 years old. That makes it one of the dwindling members of the old-growth forest of car models, standing in the shade of holdouts like the Mercedes-Benz S-Class and Ford Mustang.

It's been quite the year for German automaker Volkswagen. Not only was this the year they released the completely redesigned VW Beetle, but the Jetta received an impressive update. And then Motor Trend gave the 2012 Passat their coveted Car of the Year award. And the icing on the cake, it seems, will be for Volkswagen to close out the year as the world's largest automaker.

That's not an easy feat, either...

Well, Volkswagen almost didn't make the list. Can you guess what # the 1980 VW Rabbit Pickup was placed?

The blur that just passed you as if you were standing still? Oh, that was the 2012 Volkswagen Golf R. We invited Jamie Vondruska, founder of VW Vortex and expert on All Things Volkswagen, to take a spin in one at our recent Full-Line Dynamic Drive event. The 2012 Golf R offers an impressive 256 horsepower and latest-generation 4Motion all-wheel-drive and goes from zero to 60 in under six seconds. So what did Jamie think? "This is the Uber-Golf," Jamie states. "It sets the bar pretty high." He also had high praise for the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder FSI?? engine, which puts out a powerful 250 pound-feet of torque:I've driven every generation of the R model that's been out so far, and this is by far the liveliest version." And he's right, you know: the 2012 Golf R is the most powerful Golf ever sold in the US.

Each year, advertisers compete for prime ad spots during the Super Bowl. So, when we all sit down with our wings and our nachos on Super Bowl Sunday, we don't just get a front row seat to one of the greatest American sports traditions, we also watch the premier of some of the best and funniest commercials ever created. It also stands to reason, then, that awards are given out for the best-of-the-best. And?

With the holiday season here, we are all putting more miles on our vehicles than any other time in the year. More driving just means more money spent on gas and more cars on the road, resulting in more driving hazards.

What really sets the Tiguan apart from other small crossover SUVs is its upscale interior and sophisticated driving dynamics, both of which are noticeably better than its competitors. Inside you'll find a premium-style cabin that approaches Audi in its overall sense of quality. And for power, the Tiguan comes standard with a turbocharged engine that produces a healthy 200 horsepower.
