Volkswagen Shows Off Electric Power in Detroit

For years, Volkswagen has offered drivers around the world (including right here in Roseville), the chance to drive clean-diesel variants of their most popular cars. That's right, models like the Volkswagen Jetta and Passat are now available with diesel powertrains. But what if we told you that soon enough, you'll be able to get an EV Bug or a Hybrid Jetta?

Before the North American International Auto Show, rumor had it that the...

Volkswagen Brings Back 'The Force'

Last month, we told you to watch out for the all-new Volkswagen Beetle during the Super Bowl this year. Leading up to the big game, VW released a teaser video called "The Bark Side," featuring a chorus of dogs barking out "The Imperial March." And then left us all wondering - how would they ever use the Star Wars theme and dogs? Even better - how could they possibly top last year's ad?

There are few...

2012 Volkswagen Passat Tops Safety Tests

There are a lot of things to love about the 2012 Volkswagen Passat. You might think that Kuni Roseville VW is biased, and maybe that's true, but we're willing to bet you'd have a hard time finding something not to love about it, especially with its spacious cabin, available clean-diesel engine, and a wide range of powertrain options. The really neat thing about this German-engineered sedan? It's built right here in...

Volkswagen Goes Electric - MSN Autos

Clearly, Volkswagen's intention here at the 2012 North American International Auto Show in Detroit is to demonstrate its commitment to "green" car technology and to give the environmentally minded consumer something to look forward to. Hence, it unveiled the conservative 2013 Jetta Hybrid and the cheeky all-electric E-Bugster concept.

Cars.com Names Volkswagen Passat Best of 2012

Cars.com's team of experts has named the Volkswagen Passat as the "Best of 2012." Although the competition was fierce, the redesigned Passat marks the next step in Volkswagen's U.S. product revolution. "By delivering a level of value that families demand and the premium amenities and composed driving experience that's come to define VW, the car instantly becomes one of the best in its class," we said of the Passat.

Last month, we told you about how the people over at Adweek recognized the 2011 Volkswagen Passat Super Bowl ad as one of the best of the year. With that in mind, it shouldn't really come as a surprise to hear that Volkswagen recently announced that they've purchased a 60-second spot during the 2012 Super Bowl. And, while we think they're going to have a hard time beating last year's commercial...

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.

Volkswagen Continues Climbing Towards the Top

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...

50 Worst Cars Of All Time

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 FSIĀ® 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.
