Jim Gaffigan to Go Camping with Noted Eccentric Millionaire Jerry Seinfeld

Everyone knows that Jerry Seinfeld is a Porsche guy, but what you might not realize it that he’s a pretty serious VW guy. His love of air cooled Wolfsburgers is well reported, and one of his Beetles recently set records at Amelia Island.

Now he’s bringing another air cooled VW to the screens of the nation, with his internet series, Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee.

In the first official trailer to the show’s latest season, 8, it is revealed that Seinfeld will drive comedian Jim Gaffigan, famous for his food-related comedy and his Saturn commercials, in a Westfalia.

Comedians in Cars Getting Coffees follows serial dater Jerry Seinfeld as he seeks to go on a first date with every comedian in America and takes each one out in a different car. The cars generally relate in some way to the show’s guest, so we can only guess at why Seinfeld chose the VW for Gaffigan, but his family-friendly brand of comedy (which makes it sound less funny than it is) may have impacted that.

The new season starts on Thursday, June 16, and you can watch it at comediansincarsgettingcoffee.com.

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 ...
