2011 Volkswagen Golf Tdi Hatchback 4-door, Malone Tune Pd Exhaust Ecs Suspension on 2040-cars
Rockford, Michigan, United States

2011 VW Golf TDI 4dr 6sp MT Tornado Red price is set at market value for the base car plus half of the parts only cost. If you want the fastest TDI out there with better handling than a GTI, this is it. 60+ MPG Highway, 40+ around town. I have several cars, and this has been one of my favorites: unstoppable torque, great handling, and the best gas mileage of anything I have ever owned. But its time to make room. There isn’t anything I would change about this car. You can spend $ 35k+ to build your own, or take this one home for a lot less. The new common rail 2.0 is a great engine, but the stock intake and exhaust chokes these vehicles robbing them of power and efficiency. So the week after I took delivery of it, I worked with Performance Diesel and Malone tuning to install the best breathing and best programmed system available. Malone’s website lists 184 bhp and 333 lb-ft torque, and I don’t doubt it for a second. In fact, the numbers for this car are probably better because of the custom stainless exhaust. The fuel economy is better than stock by over 20% city and highway. The sound is perfect. Not loud, but throaty when full throttle. And you can hear the turbo whistle a little at idle. Its been a great daily driver and family trip car, no complaints whatsoever. The tucked away hitch works great for a bicycle rack. The other great thing about this car is the suspension and handling. It has a full KWV2 coil-over and sway bar setup from ECS Tuning, so it handles better than any GTI could ever dream of – and gets 2X the gas mileage. The height shown in the pictures is at the lowest setting possible, it can be adjusted about 3” higher if you want, and the shocks are adjustable too. I have like new Goodyear Ultra Grip Ice snow tires mounted on 16” black steelies if you want them for $ 450. All stock parts are included if you want to return the car to its original configuration. Waxed and in a heated garage with owners manual, service history, both keys, etc. Clear title. Dealer serviced with synthetic oil only, suspension adjustment and alignment by independent VW shop. Standard factory items: Satellite radio, Bluetooth, heated seats, sunroof, rubber TDI mats, etc. Additions

VW to relax ambitious US sales targets?
Fri, 16 May 2014The Volkswagen brand sold 407,704 cars last year, a 6.95-percent decline compared to 2012, and it's down a further 8.36 percent through the end of April 2014 compared to this time last year. In order to to put the sales football between its Strategy 2018 goal posts, the brand would need to add 100,000 more sales every year to achieve the lofty 800,000-unit target. Coming to grips with how unreasonable that is, VW US CEO Michael Horn has said, "For now, we have to have realistic targets."
The reasons for the brand's slow-down are imprecise, but lots of folks are throwing lots of reasons around. Last November, VW Group Chairman Ferdinand Piech told Bloomberg, "We understand Europe, we understand China and we understand Brazil, [but] we only understand the US to a certain degree so far." Analysts say the brand hasn't had midsize and compact SUV offerings, especially an overdue retail version of the CrossBlue, and the ones it does have are priced too high for their segments. It "didn't introduce enough new engines, or alternative technologies or model variants" for the Passat and Jetta. It devoted so many resources to China that the US market suffered. It was being outspent two-to-one on advertising by competitors. Its J.D. Power dependability ratings aren't high enough to overcome its past. It "has never really taken the US customer seriously." And so on.
There's still no official admission of defeat concerning the target, but reading between the lines there are some VW execs that appear to accept it won't happen short of some deus ex machina. Still,
Volkswagen Tiguan and Touareg take the R-Line
Mon, 14 Jan 2013
Volkswagen's Detroit Auto Show presence is big on utility this year, with the CrossBlue three-row concept vehicle occupying the lion's share of the limelight, both literally and figuratively. But that isn't stopping Volkswagen from lavishing attention on its already established crossover and sport utility vehicles with new R-Line derivatives. The Tiguan and its big brother Touareg are getting a host of look-faster items to increase their sporting appeal.
On the outside, the Tiguan R-Line receives handsome 19-inch alloys peering out from beneath fender extensions, premium lighting (bi-Xenon headlamps with LED daytime running lamps), along with matching side skirts and a liftgate spoiler. On the inside, sportier accommodations include aluminum trim and a flat-bottom steering wheel with paddle shifters. As with other R-Line models, there are no powertrain modifications to go with the more aggressive visuals (that being the province of R standalone performance models like the R32), though the suspension has been firmed up an unspecified amount. The Tiguan R-Line will be available in front- or all-wheel drive configuration.
Volkswagen Golf Variant Concept R-Line puts the sport in SportWagen
Wed, 06 Mar 2013With the introduction of the newest Volkswagen Golf Variant, we get an early look at what will most likely be the next-generation Jetta SportWagen here in the US. To further wet our appetities, VW is now teasing something a little sportier with the Concept R-Line. Looking the part of a GTI wagon (or a stretched Golf R), the Golf Variant Concept R-Line has a production-ready appearance that has us hoping we'll see this sporty wagon sooner rather than later.
The R-Line starts off with a new fascia that isn't quite as aggressive as the recently introduced GTI, but it gives the new styling some extra punch. Below the fascia is a lower splitter that visually carries back into the rocker panel extensions, and the rear of the car gets some bright exhaust tips and a rear diffuser. The Lapis Blue Metallic paint job probably does enough on its own to add a sporty flair to the Golf wagon, and it's all finished off with 18-inch split-spoke wheels. Inside, the Concept R-Line shows off sport seats wrapped in carbon leather featuring blue nappa inserts in the middle.
Rightfully so, VW brought the Concept R-Line to Geneva with its TDI and 4Motion all-wheel-drive system. A sporty, all-wheel-drive diesel wagon? Yes, please. Scroll down for the full press blast with all the details.
