Event Report: Cult Classic 10

Over the past ten years, Nothing Leaves Stock’s Cult Classic has grown significantly due to the laid-back atmosphere that can at times make it feel more like a gathering than a traditional show.  But don’t mistake this casual feel for a lack of planning or hard work, as it takes a lot of care to appear this effortless.  Take a much closer look, and you’ll discover the no-nonsense security team comprised of DCI members, and judges who’ve got Performance VW features and countless high-level builds under their belts.

This year’s edition happened just hours after a monsoon-like storm, complete with widespread flood warnings, made the usual field uninhabitable.  Thanks to quick thinking on the part of organizers, this year’s edition was moved to higher ground on the other side of Memorial Park.  This allowed cars and attendees alike to stay much drier than they otherwise would, and kept the park’s grounds from becoming a muddy grave for lowered vehicles.

Even with the lack of cooperation from Mother Nature in the days leading up to the event, organizers saw a minuscule variance in overall attendance.  As such, cars filled the decreased event footprint, causing for vehicles to be parked where they could find space in line, as opposed to being divided by class.  Not many seemed to mind, though, as it only served to further the event’s casual nature.

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 ...
