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.

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...

Waterfest Moves to Atco Dragway

Waterfest 24 will be held at Atco Dragway, in Atco, New Jersey. The summer event will take place at its new venue on July 21 and 22. Long held in Englishtown, New Jersey, the festival has been such a large part of the VW scene that the latest iteration of the Golf even comes with optional “Englishtown” wheels . The new venue, however, is an NHRA drag track a scant 52 miles southwest of Englishtown. The ¼ mile drag track opened in 1960, which makes it the oldest drag strip in New Jersey. The announcement came today on a social media post that announced the new location. Waterfest is North America’s largest VW/Audi show. As many 20,000 people show up for the annual show, making the second largest show in the world—with Worthersee being number one. 2018 will be Waterfest’s 24 th year in existence.
