Words and cars for this next feature comes from Erik202: While i liked that Accord Touring posted recently and am willing to go along with the suggestion that its the best way to go fast while powering only the front wheels, having 4doors and staying in the DT price range, I’m curious which of these […]
I’m not one to go around telling people what to do with their own hard earned money, but dropping $30k into a VW Scirocco seems a bit mental. However, the end result certainly looks like a capable Rocco that would be a hoot to drive, and the asking price is good. Find this 1986 Volkswagen […]
Back in 2004 the suburban warriors and middle aged house wives (and house husbands) who jumped on the opportunity to buy the base model of Porsche’s first SUV were probably not familiar with the term VR6. But if you tell a proper car guy, he’s gonna say, Jetta or Golf? Because the VR6 is synonymous with Volkswagen and those Porsche jacket wearing folks didn’t know they’d just purchased something that shared an engine with a Golf. But the jokes on Porsche because the little VR6 is cheaper and easier to maintain over some complicated twin-turbo Porsche and I’d rather fix this thing on the side of the trail than something with a boosted V8.

Do you know what the world needs more of? V6 powered Volkswagen Corrados with manual gearboxes…wait…they stopped making those in back in 1995.

Tip from FuelTruck. […]
The Volkswagen Corrado was a oddball in VW’s 1980s/90s lineup. It somewhat replaced the aging 2nd gen Scirocco, but not really and it wasn’t much sportier than a Golf GTI…so what was it? A VR6 powered Golf chassis based 3-door with a 179 horsepower 12-Valve VR6 motor…forget the why and just enjoy! Find this 1993 Volkswagen […]
Take a look at this 1993 Volkswagen Corrado SLC VR6 here on eBay bidding for $25,108 reserve-not-met with auction ending Wednesday at 5:30AM Pacific. I don’t want to sound like a hater, but I’ve got to admit that I don’t understand the bidding on this car. Sure, it might be the nicest example of a […]
Corrado in Spanish means “to run.” Corrado after two decades of use in North America means “better off running,” “gotta run to the auto parts store,’ or simply “the runs.” In 1988, the global reaction to Volkswagen’s Scirocco replacement was “Oh you’re being serious about this?” It was an odd move for VW, and an […]
I will probably regret this later, but I’m going to go ahead and say it anyway. I like the Volkswagen CC. Sure, it is a Passat with a fastback shape missing the center rear seat, but you know what, I’m fine with that and you should be too. Why? Maybe it is the Jameson speaking, […]
