This Limited Edition take on the Beetle cleans things up with its white exterior, white interior and white cover. Buyers can be sure that the goods under the hood will still allow them to get down and dirty while cruising on the open road. |

Rabbit
The
practical yet racy VW Rabbit has burst back
on the scene, with a 205-liter, 150 horsepower
in-line 5 cylinder engine. With a price that
is as appealing as its perks, it is ready

town. |

Eos
This new entry in the hot coupe-convertible
market will make waves as it undercuts the price
of other luxury convertibles by thousands. Powered
by the GTI's 2.0-liter turbo-4, this nifty hardtop
convertible provides plenty of fun come rain
or shine. |

Volkswagen
Phaeton W12
Some may say the company who brought
the world "the people's car" may have
gone astray with this $100,000 luxury car, and
perhaps they're right. Nevertheless, this is one
super-luxurious 12-cylinder Autobahn cruiser worth
a look for those looking for a decadent wolf in
humble sheep's clothing. |

Passat Wagon 2.0
If only there was a type of vehicle
that had the storage space of an SUV, but the driving
characteristics and fuel economy of a sedan. Wait
a second, there is—a wagon! This offering
from VW sports the GTI's turbocharged 200-horsepower
inline-4 and a thorough list of luxury features. |

GTI
The high-performance fifth-generation
GTI digs deep into its roots for some "fast"
inspiration. The turbocharged 200-horsepower engine,
lightning-quick DSG transmission, 18-inch wheels and
classic styling cues highlight this nostalgic hot
hatch. |

New Beetle Convertible 2.5
Along with a few styling tweaks and
new 2.5-liter five-cylinder engine, the New Beetle offers

amount of cuteness.

Jetta 2.5
Despite
a new grown-up look and a larger sedan feel, the new
Jetta is disappointing in its performance and features. |

Volkswagen
Jetta TDI
Today's
diesels are a far cry from the old smoky and noisy versions
of the past. Extremely high tech, they are much cleaner,
efficient and employ Volkswagen's advanced "Pumpe
Düse" technology, i.e. "unit injectors."

Phaeton
Ready
for a new car? Here's a really new set of wheels, both
for you and the manufacturer. VW joins the ranks of
the sport luxury sedan market with this big, ultra comfortable,
very cool and totally new automobile. We had the chance
to ride in silk for a week and drove a car that answered
all of our demands. |

New Beetle Convertible GLS 1.8 T
Really,
how many automobiles come with an integrated flower
vase? Would that qualify the New Beetle Convertible
GLS 1.8 T as the most romantic car? Anyway, it's a good
start and we certainly fell in love with this convertible.

Touareg
We
like the look, the overall size of the car and its manufacturing.
It is, simply put, well made. The design, choice of
components and attention to details made us appreciate
this new offering. Beyond the first look, you've got
an agile car with a good turning radius, a smart car
loaded with electronics. |
