    While the MKIV GTI got a lot of attention for its upscale interior, peppy engines, and distinctive-yet-somehow-understated styling, it was the fifth-generation model that put the car back on the top of the hot-hatch heap. The all-new 2.0T engine was a screamer, and the independent rear...

    If you haven't noticed, the Scirocco is having a moment.

    Happy Monday everyone. This week we bring a not-quite-Build-or-Buy article. In the past, we've had some "Build or Build" editions of this series where both found examples needed some work, but this week we have two classic Volkswagens in very good shape (one more than the other). So if you're...

    Spring is officially here, and with the better weather comes dreams of long drives with the top down. What better way to get some sun than behind the wheel of Volkswagen's other iconic convertible: the Cabriolet. So if you're searching for a top-down Bunny, here are two (well, three) great...

    Unless you live under a rock, you're quite familiar with the wacky Harlequin Golf . These...interesting cars are well sought after by...discerning collectors. If you do a little research, you'll be shocked to find out these little multi-color hatchbacks never sold well in North America. So...

    News flash: People just aren't buying vehicles with less than 4 doors. Two-door cars were considered sportier and faster than 4-door models not long ago, but today's buyers aren't willing to forego the convenience of a second set of doors to get friends, family, pets, clowns, or whatever it is...

    Some of you may have quite a bit of time on your (well-washed) hands now. We hope you're using this time effectively; like dreaming of bizarro builds. Perhaps something like today's "Buy" example below: stuff a more modern engine in the back of a Vanagon. Don't want to buy? Then build one...

    "Bring the Scirocco!" "We need the Scirocco!" "All VW's problems would be solved and there would be global peace and everyone would be rich and there would be no world-wide pandemics if they gave us the Scirocco!!!" Sorry, but Volkswagen never gave us the Euro-only Scirocco. But guess what...

    We've been on a bit of an "R" streak recently. Maybe it's dreams of 4motion all-wheel-drive us through the snow[/URL] . Or doing doughnuts in empty snow-covered parking lots (we'd stay fully inside the car though). But really, the reason we've featured so many Volkswagen R models is they're...

    Liberty Walk cars: you either love them or hate them. What are Liberty Walk cars? Their site has a decent explanation, but the Cliffs-notes version is: they make bolt-on wide fenders. Before we get hate letters, LW cars are a bit more than that, but that's where it started. So if you want that...
