The people's car. This is what the Volkswagen literally means, and this vehicle has also been known as the VW. And Volkswagen is one of the world's four largest car producers, with its manufacturer based in Wolfsburg, Germany. Most people associate the brand, Volkswagen, or VW, with the Beetle, since it has been the vehicle that made the brand popular.

It has been regarded as something of a "cult" car being that during the flowery 1960s, it had become associated with the hippie movement. Other than that...

These are very important questions as the performance, reliability, safety...

For those in the know who are aware that the first Porsche, the 1938 Porsche 64, sports not a few car parts similar in specs to those of the Volkswagen Beetle, the popularity and style of succeeding Porsche models is extraordinary. The Porsche 64 was introduced dressed with the same gear box, powered by the same engine, and supported by the same suspension system, as that of the Volkswagen Beetle. But, from James Deans' silver Porsche 550 Spyder to Janis Joplin's Porsche 356-C Cabriolet, Porsche cars have gone a long way from being the German automaker's rip-off. One reason for Porsche's ascent to take the king of the hill crown may be credited to the specialization that the automaker has embraced...

Going back to the 1920's, the U.S. automakers began to break away from Henry Ford's philosophy of sticking with the same model, in the same color, at the same price. Instead, manufactures like General Motors changed models every year, to give the impression that there was something unique that the American Consumer needed to buy. But changing models constantly required large investments of capital for design and retooling. Detroit was planting the seeds of its own destruction if it didn't keep up with trends amongst the buying public. A high demand for cheap attractive models would lead to one of the biggest muckraker stories in the mid 60's. In 1965 Ralph Nader published "Unsafe at Any Speed: The...

Here is a list of the disadvantages of used car buying: * The options of cars are limited, so the search for the right vehicle could be lengthy. * The buyers have no idea how the car was treated. Used cars usually have worn consumables such as hoses, tires, shocks, filters, fans and clutch. * Although used car dealers provide a warranty, it is only limited to a couple of months unlike purchasing a new car with full warranty.

Whether the dealer has worked the vehicle to...

One look at the new Volkswagen Golf and you will notice that the car leasing trend in most hatchbacks is veering towards a more modern look for all types of vehicles. However, the Golf is not your typical hatchback; so not typical that we won't be seeing much of it until 2009. It seems the car leasing trend for this model was put aside when VW recently assigned a new boss to take control of the company. And take over he did, starting with a review of all future plans for all models under the VW flag. Now, while this may explain a lot about the delayed and anticipated release of the new VW Golf, it doesn't explain why designers have gone through the car leasing trend of making it look like a VW...

The Dakar Rally has been a successful event for Volkswagen with a 1-2 finish on the final stage of the arduous event. Giniel de Villiers' stage wins-his fourth and Volkswagen's 10th from the 14 stages-underlined the speed and dominance of the TDI powered Race Touareg 2. It was Volkswagen's team that led the first eight days of the Dakar Rally but was cut short when the team encountered engine problems.

It should be noted that the German automaker is famous for creating the best quality auto parts in the world like its Volkswagen fuel injectors. The untoward engine incident during the Rally...

According to most car experts, silver is the number one color choice for new cars today. It is also believed that silver cars have better resale values due to its ability in hiding dirt. The buying public however, does not totally agree, some think the color silver is dull. Fortunately for us, the SEAT Leon FR TDI would be anything but dull with its Crono yellow finish. The paintjob of the FR TDI remarkably complements the Leon's lines and highlights its aggressive nose and high waistline. However, the optional body kit seems to make the FR a little bloated and provides a slight aftermarket feel specially those gaping gill-like false vents- you would probably think twice of paying £2,500 for it...

Two years ago, when I didn't have a car I was looking for a way of getting a car for free. Of course I checked all the local online ads websites "free" section but never found anything. People are not quite that rich or generous to give out cars. However, I did come across several ads offering a brand new car for free or paying an amount from $200 to $3000 a month to drive my own car. The concept of this program is built on the bases of advertising. The companies wrap your car in vinyl decals advertising different products or services such as; beer, clubs, foods, energy drinks, restaurants, live shows and many others. The concept is great but where is the catch? All these companies charge a...

First of all, avoid any car the first year it's released. I noticed in the paper this morning that you could lease a new Ford whatever their new SUV/sedan cross is for the same price you lease a Ford Explorer. What fool would buy a new car, before the manufacturer has had a year or two to iron out the bugs? They're in constant contact with dealers and service departments to find out how their new cars are performing and what customers like and don't like about them. Give them some time to fine tune the car before buying it for yourself. Never buy whatever car is super popular. You'll pay top dollar, and you'll never get that money back out of it. No car dealer will dealer on a hot car. Why should...
