Volkswagen Launches GTI vs GLI Video Game

Rival Road: GTI vs GLI sets out to pit fans of Volkswagen’s two small performance cars against one another. The game is VW’s first, and it allows players from across the nation to compete for their preferred car.

The game is a fairly simple one. Racing up a road in your favorite car (either a GTI or GLI) you have to avoid obstacles to last as long as you can. The game is available on both computers and mobile devices.

If you enter their competition, though, you could end up winning time on a real racetrack with Tanner Foust and Scott Speed. The two Volkswagen Andretti Rallycross drivers are captains of the opposing teams and on July 26 will compete to help determine if the Golf or the Jetta will win.

While watching the livestream, you’ll be able to affect the outcome. Not just because you’re unlucky and your favorite team always loses when you’re watching, but also because you can throw up obstacles in the drivers’ paths.

On that date, Speed (team GTI) and Foust (team GLI) will compete not in real cars, but with RC cars designed to look like the relevant VWs. While the race is going on, viewers will be able to throw up obstacles to slow down the team they oppose. It’s kinda like fanboost, but less dumb.

Finally, you can enter the Rival Road Contest, which could win you a trip to Fastivus 2016, taking place in California on August 14.

As this is written, team GTI leads team GLI by about 466 miles, but there’s still a long road ahead and plenty of time to catch up. So if you’re a GLI fan get playing at rivalroad.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 ...
