So long, old friend

After many years of faithful service, the GTI is sold. That was a great car, but the time had long since come to move on (as long-time readers of this blog might have surmised). God willing, perhaps...

A €40,000 ($50,000) Golf (!)

In the EU, no one would think twice about this price tag. Some things are better over here. However, it’s very pretty in the not-available-Stateside Minzgrün (though not enough to get us to sign on the...

Guest contributor: Steven Moy on his 1993 Volkswagen Corrado VR6

Who doesn’t love the Volkswagen Corrado? Certainly not the automotive press. Tiff Needell once said, “Handling-wise, the Corrado is classic front-wheel drive, and it’s really very, very good indeed,”...

Lower Wacker Drive, R32 and

If you had to choose one of these for a high-altitude climate with seasonal wintry conditions, which would it be and why? Assume that the primary purpose of the vehicle is to be a ‘fun’ car, and that...

Cripes

We want one. And we can only hope that these don’t follow, say, the E30 M3′s price trajectory by the time we’re ready to purchase— how maddening that would be. It is the anti-modern car – which packs...

The old look-back-in-admiration-while-walking-away

We’ve done it countless times and look forward to countless more. To be honest, if you find that you’ve stopped doing so.. it’s probably time for something new. Life’s too short to be driving a...

Scirocco and Scirocco

Fantastic images (more here), although given our druthers, we prefer the wedge-y, Giugiaro-penned MkI. Surprised? No, we didn’t think so. We don’t know if the latest ‘rocco is coming to the US (stop...

1964 Volkswagen Beetle

This beautiful car belongs to reader kiwi_obecny. Power comes courtesy of a 1200cc motor with a Judson Supercharger. But best of all is the color! Java Green is so perfect on this old Käfer. We love it.

What’s the modern-day spiritual successor to the MkI Golf (Rabbit) GTI?

We think it’s the Ford Fiesta ST. Adjusted for inflation, the GTI’s $8,350 in 1984 is roughly $18,800 today. The Ford Fiesta ST lists at $21,400. If we were in the market for a brand new small,...

Van life: Nao Tomii on his 1999 Volkswagen Eurovan Winnebago Camper

As much as we’d like for it to be so, man – not least of all the family man – can’t live on driver’s cars alone—occasionally, he needs practical transportation, too. And when it comes to transporting...
