Yet More Awards for Tiguan and Budd-e

Volkswagen’s design team can be proud, knowing that their designs are well appreciated in the wake of another pair of awards for the futuristic Budd-e concept and the handsome Tiguan. The two cars have won “Best of Best” accolades from the German Design Council.

The German Design Council recognizes excellent product design at its Automotive Brand Contest. The Council hands out Best of Best awards for products that get top ratings from its panel of judges.

The Tiguan won its Best of Best prize in the “Exterior, Volume Brand” category for its brand new design.

“The second-generation Tiguan has achieved a new level of independence: its appearance is now unmistakable—a sporty SUV clearly distinguished from the competition,” say the Council in a release. “The proportions are correct and the positioning, even within the Volkswagen family, is unequivocal.”

This is at least the Tiguan’s third design award, as it has won both iF Design and Plus X awards in recent months.

The Budd-e, meanwhile, the all-electric concept first unveiled at CES in Las Vegas earlier this year, earned its Best of Best accolade in the “Concept” category.

“The avant-garde Budd-e minivan shows how an innovative car company is presenting the mobility of the future,” say the Council. “With its iconic design, it is building on the history of the brand and the legendary predecessors—and is giving us a clear view into the future.”

Audi, Skoda, and SEAT were also celebrated at the Automotive Brand  Contest.

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. Expect Ogier to climb the rankings, though. Not only did he win the rally last year, he has won every year since 2013. 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 ...
