The New Tiguan is Auto Bild’s All-wheel Car of the Year

The awards keep coming for Volkswagen’s SUV. Auto Bild, Europe’s largest magazine for off-roading vehicles has named the 2016 Tiguan their “All-wheel Car of the Year,” in the vehicles under 30,000 Euro category.

This is the fifth time since the Tiguan’s launch in 2007 that it has won the coveted title. In that same period of time Volkswagen has sold 2.8 million Tiguans around the world.

The 2016 European model has a fresh look as well as a number of new goodies that have seen wide acclaim. Only this week, we reported that the Tiguan won the Auto Zeitung Design Trophy 2016.

Back in the land of the free, we still have to wait until 2017 for the updated Tiguan, but when it comes rumors suggest that it will have a longer wheel base, thanks to the MQB platform.

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...

PZM 73rd Rally Poland Kicks Off

The WRC is in Poland and after only one stage there are three Volkswagens in the top five. Today’s special stage at the Mikolajki Arena is the first stage, but the rally doesn’t begin in earnest until Friday. Today’s super special stage was less than two minutes long, and less than a second separates the top five drivers. Hyundai Motorsport’s Thierry Neuville tops the charts today, followed closely by Volkswagen’s Andreas Mikkelsen. Sebastien Ogier and Jari-Matti Latvala are in fourth and fifth, respectively.

And with rain expected on Friday, Ogier’s chances are even better. “If it’s a bit wet then I hope I can make some good times,” said Ogier earlier today. “The best would be some good rain during the night so it’s a damp surface and then not too bad weather during the day so specators can enjoy the show without being too wet.” If it is dry, though, speed is on ...
