Wörthersee 2015 Photo Gallery: Day 9

Alas, the all things VAG festival of Wörthersee in Austria has ended its multi-week go. The corporate presence from brands like Volkswagen, Audi, SEAT and Skoda are firmly in place and the final “official” days are now over.

Our own Jamie Vondruska popped in during the craziness of the official days and has submitted several hundred photos from his 24-hour pop into the small Austrian town of Reifnitz. Each has been added to our photo galleries, both separated by model and also clustered together into one folder of contributions from Vondruska.

As you can see, the highlight of the official days is the corporate presence. For Volkswagen, this meant pulling the wraps off of the Golf GTE Sport Concept along with other featured cars in the Volkswagen stand. These also included a Golf Sportwagen BiTurbo TDI, a Golf R Color Concept, the Apprentices’ Golf GTI Dark Shine design study and various other models.

Those watching our coverage closely will note the difference in public days. The volume of enthusiasts and cars has grown exponentially. Even still, with grown numbers also means a drop in overall quality of builds if not outrageousness. More of the extensive builds during these days go to corporate presences like Abt Sportsline and Oettinger.

We’ll have a more thorough summary of the event and a few more news items stemming from Wörthersee throughout the week. In addition to our continuing Worthersee coverage, our staff is also hard at work on a recap of this year’s Southern Wörthersee in Helen, GA, and the Nurburgring 24 Hour race that also happened last weekend.

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 ...
