SEMA Spotlight: M2 Motoring’s Widebody Mk5 GTI

SEMA’s North Hall is a fairly diverse place, where nearly any company that considers themselves under the heading of “Collision and Repair” sets up shop.  As such, it’s aisles seem to be a bit less trafficked than the more in-your-face South and Central halls, even though there are always more than a few must-see builds displayed inside it.  Case in point is M2 Motoring’s Widebody GTI, which was found inside the Whistler Group booth.

Being in the business of Radar Detection and GPS Navigation Devices, Whistler needed a car which gave off the appearance of a  total police magnet.  In just briefly looking at this GTI with its flared arches, massive rear wing and front diffuser, and bold pink window stickers, I’d say it’s a job well done.

We don’t know a whole lot about this car, as we didn’t really have a chance to chat anyone up about the build, but as far as we can tell, the car has some sort of turbo upgrade from ATP Turbos, HRE Wheels, revamped bushings courtesy of Whiteline, suspension by CKS, and an unidentified widebody kit.  Aside from that, we’re filing this car under “missed connections.”

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 ...
