Find of the Day: 2003 Volkswagen Golf GTI 20th Anniversary

When it comes to the fourth generation GTI, they simply don’t get much more desirable than the Jazz Blue 20th Anniversary edition.  And while we may not all agree on the whole ‘stance’ thing, this 20th pulls off the look quite well, fitting squarely into the “buy it built” category.

The list of modifications performed to this Jazz Blue GTI are quite lengthy, so rather than subject you to the entire list, we’ll just focus on a few of the more original cues.  If you’re anything like us, the first thing you’d have noticed were the gen 1 Viper three spoke wheels measuring 17×9 and 17×10, respectively stuffed under this Mk4’s arches.  It just might be the only Mk4 to run this setup in the world, and is distracting enough to take away from the many nips and tucks happening elsewhere on the exterior.

Moving to the interior, you’ll find a wood-grain Grant steering wheel, european ‘confetti’ Recaro seats and a rear seat delete.  Aside from that, the interior has been largely left alone, and that’s not such a bad thing.

This 20th Anniversary GTI is currently for sale in our very own Classifieds section for $10,5000.  Additional images and contact info can be found right here.

Review: Saying Goodbye to the CC V6

For all its size and its global reach, Volkswagen is still, in many ways, a deeply human company. There was, for instance, the Bugatti Veyron an ego project if ever there was one. Then the purchase of Ducati, a move most called folly. And then there was the Phaeton, the Volkswagen that most folks can’t afford. Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor. The version I drove, because I live in Canada, is a V6 Wolfsburg Edition, which apparently isn’t available in the States. Nor is the V6, not as...

More 3.0-Liter TDI Settlement Details Expected by January 31

Volkswagen and the TDI Plaintiff’s Steering Committee were in court today for another status conference following the agreement in principal reached earlier this week. Little new information was given at the conference held before Judge Charles Breyer today, but the court ordered the parties to develop a formal settlement agreement, class action notices, and a class notice plan by January 31, 2017. For now, though, owners still don’t know how much to expect in compensation. Elizabeth Cabraser, lead Counsel for the Plaintiff’s Steering Committee reaffirmed in a statement today that the compensation would be “substantial.” The potential cost to Volkswagen is widely reported to exceed $1 billion, though, with an additional $225 million going into an environmental trust to help offset excess emissions. Buy back offers are still only expected for the oldest 20,000 of the roughly 80,000 VW Group vehicles sold in America with the 3.0-liter TDI engine. Those vehicles are mostly SUVs, like ...
