 Frankfurt Auto Show Report: Volkswagen Group Perspective | « » 6:29 PM 9-19-2007 | |
|
 One need look no further than the Autobahn to ascertain that Germany is one of the most car-focused societies going. In a land where a speed-no-limit road system defines priorities, it’s no surprise that the Frankfurt International Auto Show is the largest and craziest of the breed – several industry shows within an industry show. With those sorts of event credentials and a home field advantage, it’s also no surprise that Frankfurt is perhaps the most important show stage for the Volkswagen Group and its portfolio of brands. Full Story

No. It's a chassis built by Artega, powered by the 3.6-liter FSI VR6 mated to a DSG.

well, that confirms it. I know what wagon I'm getting when my wife and I finally have a kid. Now the company I work at needs to make me rich so I can buy that new RS6. I think I can deal with it being the stock 580hp.

Unfortunately it won't happen, but would be more than happy to see the Skoda line come to the NA. Seems like it would make a great deal more sense than losing money on the decontented Golfs, and they look like they could compete very well in the $12-15k pricepoint. Oh well.

"Now, German magazine Automobilwoche reports sales of the Artega GT, by German auto supplier Paragon, will commence in summer of 2008. Weighing under 2500 pounds and powered by VW's 3.6-liter FSI V6, the cars will get from zero to 60 in around five seconds. The first production run will of 500 units, each selling for 75,000 Euro, or around $103,000."If you can afford it, then good for you!

What's MMI?I like the HO-scale cars. Unfortunately, I've still seen only a few VW products hiding in photos on the pages of Model Railroader... maybe someday I'll see a layout with a bunch of these roaring down a twisty in the background! Then again, maybe not -- dropped my subscription a while back because I don't have the time, spare cash, or the space for that hobby right now. Oddest "find" was a Merkur XR4Ti.

That Karmann Cabrio is looking sweet Now, Will VW decide to go ahead and Build x amount, and send some state side?
Many people enjoy eating apples and oranges, but in the end they are still… just apples and oranges. The R32 is passion fruit.
