SEMA Bound: Momo’s Project GLI

With summer officially over, and the more basic among us flocking to Starbucks and their local breweries for Pumpkin-infused everything, those of us in the aftermarket industry have turned our attention to SEMA.  This gathering of automotive excess in Las Vegas brings out the best, and sometimes the worst, in what the industry has to offer when cost is no object, and personal preferences vary.  But happily not everyone sees it as an opportunity to cast taste aside.

For this year’s event, MOMO will be debuting a face-lifted Mk6 GLI, built in the OEM+ style to showcase their newly expanded product range.  Think of it much in the same vein as the Pirelli Edition’s of the 80s, an incredibly sporty take on a Volkswagen product that could very realistically be found at your local VW dealer.

VTX-MOMO-GLI-01

As work is just starting to get underway, MOMO has supplied us with a rendering that we’ve got to admit looks pretty sharp.  Utilizing MOMO’s race buckets, and a new wheel design, along with suspension from H&R, brakes from Brembo and engine upgrades that have yet to be determined (this is just the second 2016 in the country, after all), the final product promises to be quite tastefully done.  Over the coming weeks, we’ll follow along as they make the push towards SEMA, and be on the ground to see the car in person when this year’s event opens on November 3rd.

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 ...
