Rendered: Seven Passenger Volkswagen Tiguan

We already know that Volkswagen will be bringing a long wheelbase version of it’s new Tiguan to the states, but as of now, we’ve yet to see where exactly that extra length will come from.  In a recent rendering from Theophilus Chin, the so-called “automotive manipulator” takes a stab at just how that longer vehicle might look.

By hiding those extra few inches in the rear door and cargo area, Chin has come up with a design that not only looks production ready, but downright large.  We’ve been hearing that the interior of the new Tiguan is quite spacious in production form, and by that metric, the US-spec long wheelbase version should feel cavernous.  The latest rumors suggest that this longer Tiguan will appear in Paris for this year’s Paris Motor Show.  As Volkswagen is admittedly a bit behind the curve when it comes to the SUV marketplace here in America, we’ll be watching this one quite closely.

2018 Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster Review

“Supercars just don’t excite me anymore.” These words, spoken to me over a month ago by another journalist, friend, and (so-called) enthusiast were echoing in my head for far too long, but they’ve finally been drowned out. Drowned out by the wail of a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine mounted in the middle of the new Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster. My friend’s point is that back in the good old days, there was a crop of supercars that captured the imagination with amazing style, sounds, performance, and more. Today, it seems like everything is capable of supercar performance, with large luxury sedans outdoing some of the best and most dedicated teams of car nuts, while former pillars of automotive excellence are suddenly pumping out family-friendly SUVs. Beyond that, another league of supercars, dubbed hypercars have cropped up with hybrid gas-electric powertrains that make magical things happen quickly, but at the cost of the acoustic drama, visual flair, and engag...

Project SportWagen: Going Stage 2 with APR

    When we last left you, the humble little SportWagen was fresh from the development process with our friends at AWE Tuning, sporting a new downpipe, exhaust and intake, allowing things to breathe a bit easier.  The car sounded great, but there was no getting around the fact that our wagon was still quite, well, slow.   While we realize that nothing we do to the Golf SportWagen at this point will make it a race car, we still felt compelled to do something .  To put it bluntly, we had a fever, and the only cure was more power. Flash forward a few hours, and we found ourselves at Waterfest, staring down APR’s palatial spread and the numerous tuned vehicles surrounding it.  Earlier in the year, APR had hinted to us that their 1.8 TSI files would be quite impressive, and based on what they were able to do with the 2.0 TSI found in the new GTI and our time in their Golf R, we knew it’d be worth the wait.  So with this in mind, we lined our G...
