SEMA Spotlight: Legacy Innovations Widebody Corrado

The widebody look was definitely a thing this year at SEMA, but very few were able to pull it off as well as Legacy Innovations’ Corrado.  Starting with the already aggressive factory fender treatment, Legacy added an additional 2″ to each side via custom-made metal flares, allowing the Corrado to have an incredibly aggressive stance, without excessive tire stretch.  And in keeping with the function over form ethos, the car features height-adjustable shocks from JRI.

Moving past the exterior modifications, this Corrado was built with an attention to detail rarely seen on this side of the pond.  Leather and alcantara covered nearly every interior surface, including custom trimmed Recaro Sportster CS seats.  Complimenting the custom tailoring, was machined aluminum accents used tastefully throughout the interior.

While not a perfect build, we do think that this Corrado is certainly a step in the right direction for US-based builds.  We’re hoping this level of detail inspires many going into the long winter.

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 ...
