Well, we were close with our story on the Volkswagen Scirocco R20T. But it looks like VW are dropping the ’20T’ bit and sticking with VW Scirocco R. Fine by us. Car names are getting so long and convoluted it’s nice to see a car maker actually using something straightforward for a change. And unlike […]
Porsche rejects BlueSport Concept
The VW BlueSport concept debuted at the Detroit Motor Show in January, and offered the prospect of an economical, fun roadster from the VW group. But at the time VW made it clear that the car would have to work across three of its brands to be viable. VW are obviously up for the project, […]
Volkswagen Scirocco R20T – snapped ahead of reveal
We really rate the VW Scirocco. It’s everything a small coupe should be. It’s very stylish, extremely well-built and fun to drive. We wrote about the new VW Scirocco GT TDI a few days ago, which offers all the style and fun of its siblings, but wrapped up with terrific economy. But next to be […]
VW Scirroco GT TDI 170PS – UK orders & prices
I do like the Volkswagen Scirocco. I liked it when they produced the ‘Storm’ back in the ’70s, and I think the latest version is a great car, even if I would like to see a Scirocco with the same sort of cache as the Storm had back then. But today frugality is the key […]
Volkswagen Tiguan R Line announced
Oh, that sounds interesting. An R Line Tiguan. Fresh from the hands of Volkswagen Individual (the VW in-house engineering mob) that brought us the Passat R36 and the Touareg R50. Bound to have a nice new engine with more grunt to make the capable Tiguan a hot 4×4. But sadly, this is a purely cosmetic […]

Skoda BlueSport Roadster looking likely
Back in January, at the time of the Detroit Motor Show, we brought news of a compact VW Roadster concept that was reckoned to be ready for sign off by VW as an Audi and a VW economical, fun little Roadster, along the lines of the old British Sports cars from a previous generation, and […]
Volkswagen Touareg Hybrid by BlueMotion
VW is pushing out its BlueMotion offerings with the announcement that the next Touareg will be offered with Volkaswagen’s first full production Hybrid when it launches next year. Also on offer will be a Passat BlueMotion, a Passat Blue TDi and a Passat TSi EcoFuel. I think we can guess which way VW are going […]
VW Passat gets DSG
When you think of VW (Volkswagen, not the group as a whole) you don’t usually think of stylish coupes. Sensible hatchbacks and fairly boring saloons are what spring to mind, with one or two exceptions. And perhaps the biggest exception is the VW Passat CC. Spawned from the very middle of the road Passat, the […]
