Flashback: H&R Springs’ Mk6 TDI SEMA Golf

Alright, we’ll level with you.  We hit quite a few events throughout the year, and don’t always have time to give each car, venue or event the love it deserves.  We’ve at times even been known to rediscover features from old backup hard drives.  It’s simply an unfortunate side-effect of the cadence at which the industry moves.

Case in point is this Mk6 Golf TDI, first shown by suspension specialists H&R at SEMA in 2009.  Using their strong ties within the industry to even have the car to show, H&R then applied their tried and true approach to tuning the car, applying tasteful vinyl stripes, massive 20″ OZ Superleggera HLT wheels, Volkswagen Accessories pedal covers, and their own Ultra Performance Coilovers and Sway Bars.  The result was a Volkswagen which turned heads in a sea of then-new Chevrolet Camaros.  And we had a full photoset of the build ready to go this entire time.

In all, the car’s presence at SEMA was successful enough that H&R was able to re-use their connections to get several more VAG vehicles in their SEMA booth before they arrived in dealers, including a Mk7 Golf and Audi RS 7 in 2013, and the Golf SportWagen and Audi S3 this past year.

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 ...
