Volkswagen Beetle - Classic Sedan on 2040-cars
Keller, Washington, United States
1967 Volkswagen Beetle - a turn-key pristine drive anywhere - needs nothing - '67 Bug - not to be repeated, this is the best of the best. I would not be selling it except that family responsibilities take precedent at this time in my life. Although, if you're looking for a concours restoration, this is not your car - this is a modern interpretation of what a bug could have been in 1967 - say a sports version for that year...1776 cid with dual carbs...it goes very, very well...I've driven it less than 2000 miles since I purchased it in 2008. It cruises at 70 MPH on the freeway - all day long...it is a Southern California Beetle and this is very evident in the restoration, mechanically it is perfect, it retains original glass and the body is as new, it is spectacular, no excuses - there are two tiny cosmetic flaws - one is the alarm key receptacle that was left on the front driver side fender wall, the other a scratch on the passenger side front wheel where a bicyclist decided to get too close when the car was parked - other than these two small blemishes, it is truly a Bug that is better than when it was new - at 48 years old you would not believe the condition, must be seen to be appreciated - none finer. I bought this beetle from a LA County (Deputy) Sheriff in 2008 - he had restored the car for his girlfriend at the time, the relationship did not last the time of restoration and afterwards it just reminded him of her so he had to sell it...he completed a body off restoration and completely rebuilt every aspect of the car - this is truly an exceptional example that should be seen and driven to be appreciated - it is surely better than when it was new. The engine runs perfectly and the car needs nothing, finding a Bug in this condition is very rare, everything, all parts on the car are german parts - original VW parts, even the bumpers are the heavy steel German bumpers - nothing has been overlooked, the jack, spare and wrench are with the car.

Volkswagen Routan dead, pour out a sippy cup for your little homies
Thu, 28 Mar 2013America's minivan wolfpack has just gotten smaller by one. According to Automotive News, Volkswagen officials have confirmed what we've suspected for some time - the Routan is dead. Essentially a lightly reworked version of the Dodge Grand Caravan, the Routan actually hasn't been rolling off of Chrysler's Windsor, Ontario production line at all this year, but VW had yet to confirm its discontinuation. However, Jonathan Browning, CEO of VW America, has reportedly admitted that the Routan is being axed, with remaining units expected to be funneled into corporate functions for "internal purposes."
The move isn't unexpected - the Routan has never been a big seller, with just 57,650 examples moved since sales began in 2008 - peak yearly sales totaled under 16,000 units, and that was back in 2010. And while many have talked of the minivan segment shrinking, Automotive News points out that the segment actually grew 14 percent last year to 597,118 units, though it should be noted that most segments have been on sales upticks as the US economy chugs out of its recession.
So, is volume-crazy Volkswagen prepared to pass on large family vehicle sales? Probably not - the German automaker has signaled that it plans to build a three-row crossover in North America soon, and we wouldn't be surprised if it looks an awful lot like the Crossblue Concept from January's Detroit Auto Show - minus the fancy plug-in diesel powertrain.
Europeans get first crack at new Golf Variant wagon
Mon, 04 Mar 2013Just last week, when we brought you news of a new Volkswagen Golf variant out and testing in Europe, we had no idea we were being so literal with out description. For it seems that VW has every intention of calling its new Golf wagon, making its Geneva debut, the "Golf Variant."
Odd/interesting sobriquets taken as read then, there's a lot to like about this new small wagon from VW. The Variant will shed some 232 pounds in this generation, and will come to market with two efficient TDI engines. Volkswagen isn't giving us displacement figures for either yet, but we're told the diesels will come with outputs of 110 and 150 horsepower. The 110-hp TDI BlueMotion Varient will be good for a whopping 71.3 miles per gallon on the European cycle, when mated to the six-speed manual transmission.
The German automaker has brought along an all-wheel-drive 4Motion version of the Gold Variant to bow in Geneva, as well, and a natural gas-burning TGI BlueMotion is said to be "in the pipeline."
2013 Volkswagen Jetta Hybrid
Tue, 12 Feb 2013More Fun Than A Prius, Less Sensible Than A TDI
Let's have some fun, and do some math. We're talking pretty rudimentary stuff, multiplication and division, to figure out if the upcoming Volkswagen Jetta Hybrid can make a baseline case for itself against two very strong competitors in this segment. The competitors in question, at least for now, are two more Jettas: the diesel-drinking TDI and the fit-for-the-masses SE with VW's long-serving 2.5-liter engine.
To keep the equations clean and simple (hey, we're writers), we'll calculate based on the most flattering EPA miles per gallon stat from highway driving for all cars, assume a healthy 20,000 miles driven per year, and factor in today's average cost for the respective fuels these three require: diesel (TDI), regular (SE) and premium (Hybrid). We'll also start with the base prices for all models.
