Wörthersee 2015: Day 2 and 3 Galleries Now Live

[Photos: Si Gray]

The sun has come out at Lake Worthersee, eager to greet the many enthusiasts who’ve come early for Europe’s largest Volkswagen gathering.  Making his way to the many meets and usual hang outs, our UK contributor Si Gray is on the ground in Austria and filed this latest group of photos from his first weekend there.

As you may recall, Si is in town a week early to catch the most die-hard of enthusiasts. This group, often with some seriously impressive cars, shows up ahead of the main event so as not to get mired in the craziness of the ever-growing crowds during the actual show week. This year however, the number of early attendees is though the roof, making traffic and parking a bit more hectic, forcing some noteworthy cars to be parked alongside the road rather than in their normal spots.

Not one to be easily deterred, Mr. Gray scoured the landscape in search of the best cars in attendance, and will continue to send daily galleries our way into next week. He’ll then depart Wörthersee for a quick 12 hour stop-off in the UK before boarding a plane destined for Southern Wörthersee here in the states.  For the time being, follow along and see some of Europe’s most impressive modified Volkswagens and other notable cars that show up 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 ...
