VAG Group is conducting a series of tests with a car that is already generating far more questions than answers. The spy photographs shown in this paper allow us to see a test mule that just is not easy to identify. This car has other things in different models produced by the VAG group and we take time to get more information.

It is known in advance that this new model is built on the MQB platform, according to some inscriptions that can warn (not without difficulty) on the board of the car, but otherwise, very little is known.
The car seems to have great influences of cars such as the Volkswagen Jetta or Volkswagen Golf VI himself (mainly in the part of the tube), while in the photo that it can be seen from the rear, are more than clear Skoda Octavia influences, for example.
All conjecture, mere dubious assumptions, you see … because of confirmations (and much less formal), nothing at all for the moment.

In all cases we have heard about called to review, it must be definitely the strangest to which we have encountered. The German manufacturer Volkswagen is not at all easy for these hours in the United States and so things is starring in a case like no other. The issue is that this time must not repair units free of charge to many of the Volkswagen New Beetle, but must replace them directly and give users some who are technically the same as those that have but due to meet certain standards (NHTSA English acronym of the National Highway Traffic Safety).

The point is this: according to the NHTSA, many units of the New Beetle manufactured between September 1 and September 22, 2010 do not meet the requirements as far as crash tests are concerned. It is clear that the crash test requirements have been modified in the United States precisely on September 1, 2010, so this strange event that requires the German mark NHTSA is plainly something unprecedented: it directly call the owners of those units (there are 27 in particular) and proceed to stay with “defectives”, giving the user similar units but which have been made before the September 1, 2010.

After long time of not seeing him in the car sites across the internet, now we back to this car so attractive, seductive and convertible, a motor that appeals to many lovers of this brand (especially those who want to feel the wind in their hair). We are talking about the Volkswagen Eos, a car is worth noting. The novelty is the official presentation by the German company’s new and renovated 2011 Volkswagen Eos, a car that adds one more member to the family of the Volkswagen Eos and many will probably want to know it well before taking one home.

So if you are interested in knowing the details and see the official pictures of the new Volkswagen Eos 2011, and we can do all this stuff for you guys. To start let’s say the new Eos 2011 has a much more pronounced aesthetic and modern, more elegant time with sports and some eccentric touches without losing its essence, of course. Anyway, the interior retains its original appearance but received some improvements in the control of the center console, the browser, the implementation of the dome and the wheel well. A renewal is not lost anything.

Also, the Volkswagen Eos has two different variants, the Sport and Excellence, each with its own equipment and prices. Also, this car can be chosen in Europe with petrol, diesel, manual gearbox and with DSG. Its fully equipped with items like LED daytime running lights, headlight Light Assist system, actuation of the roof from the remote control and also incorporates the second generation of Park Assist, that parking is almost child’s play. All in all make this car a very sleek and technological alternative, especially for fans of modern cars. Read the rest of this entry »

Some countries in Europe will receive shortly a pleasant and welcome blessing from the German manufacturer Volkswagen. It is neither more nor less than a special variant of the phenomenal new Volkswagen Scirocco that this time will be named “Edition.”
Not been reported on the initial list of countries where the new Scirocco will be sold, nor the number of units that will produce the same, but almost taken for granted that will be available in most European countries in the months come.
First will be emphasized improving the quality / price ratio for the other versions so far known, this is perhaps its most salient feature.

Indeed the most notable changes are noticed in the equipment and some interior trim (which does not happen so particularly with the appearance of the car). In this sense we say that the Volkswagen Scirocco “Edition” brings a full complement of series that includes such things as armchairs upholstered in Alcantara / leather, USB input, new sports pedal made of aluminum alloy wheels of 18 inches, electric sunroof a generous center armrest with leather fully lined in front.
Also includes electrical levantavidrios known, automatic climate control, stereo with mp3 player, among other things to note. Read the rest of this entry »
