Sancho Paws Is Coming To Town… In a VW Van!

Therapy dogs bring comfort to patients, and they are really needed during the holidays. One special therapy dog in California got all dolled up to deck the halls in a cool VW van.

Therapy pets are staples at many healthcare facilities across the country. The science behind the comfort and support therapy pets bring grows regularly, and let’s be honest–who doesn’t love sloppy puppy kisses? Patients find them to be perfect for snuggles and love during rough times in their treatment.

The San Gabriel Valley Medical Center in California has a pet therapy program with two dogs, who of course have their own, official hospital ID badges. Sancho is one unique pup who brings cheer to patients as he zooms up and down the hallways on each floor, looking for those with whom he and his owner can love on.

The holidays are often an even tougher time to be dealing with medical issues, and Sancho has stepped up his game. He’s now flying through the halls in his merrily decked out Volkswagen Van, dressed in a jolly outfit and delighting all the patients who get to see him. Twitter user Juliee’s mother works at the center, and caught a couple of pictures of a glee-filled Sancho. She sent it them Juliee, who tweeted them out and instantly filled the internet with adorable.

Juliee said she was glad to be able to bring some smiles to the Internet, as people can’t help but smile at the sweet and silly pooch, and we agree–those candy cane antlers and that big old smile on Sancho’s face? We can’t even.

Good Job, Sancho! You are definitely on the nice list this year, and we know the patients to whom you give happiness and support love you so so so!

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...

T-Prime Makes World Premiere at Beijing

[ See image gallery at www.vwvortex.com ] The SUV segment is one of the fastest growing segments in the world and Volkswagen is showing the world how to do it. With the new T-Prime Concept GTE that was revealed today, the company is showing off all of the technology you can look for in its coming models. The T-Prime is a full-size hybrid SUV that can go up to 31 miles on a charge and gets 87 mpg. The hybrid power station is good for 375 hp and 516 lb/ft of torque and puts the power down with 4MOTION all wheel drive. It’ll get you up to 60 in six seconds. The concept’s real party piece, though, is its interior, which features exclusively touch, gesture, and voice controls. Everything from the infotainment, to the display, and even the gears are controlled by touch-screen. The T-Prime Concept GTE is bigger than the Touareg, and design elements are likely to find their way into all of their SUVs, of which there will be many. Volkswagen is also announcing that they expect to make an S...

Audi Teases the e-tron’s Headlights Ahead of LA Reveal

Audi will unveil its new electric car, the e-tron GT, in just a few short days, but until then, it will do what manufacturers can’t help but do and will tease it mercilessly. The latest teaser images first appeared on Germany’s Bild , and feature some of the EV’s lighting. While the taillights look reasonably familiar, albeit on an interesting, angular surface, the headlights feature a heretofore unseen light shape. The X-shape (or maybe an R-shape, from the right angle) in the middle of the e-tron GT’s headlights set it apart from the rest of the lineup, even the e-tron SUV (whose lights look R8-ish with their angular check-shaped top line.) #Sneak Peek: the #Audi #etron GT concept – stay tuned for the big #world #premiere on November 28. pic.twitter.com/NIg0z6bIwR — AUDI AG (@Audi_Press) November 25, 2018 The long and low sedan will be based on the same platform as the Porsche Taycan, which is said to hit 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds and whose batteries will all be stowed...
