Find of the Day: The Surprisingly Suede ’93 Corrado

[See image gallery at www.vwvortex.com]

I think we can all agree that the Corrado is a handsome car, but everything can be improved. And that’s just what’s happened to this squeaky clean ’93 Corrado. Although this car is anything but unmodded, the overall appearance isn’t all that different from a stock Corrado. The maker instead spent time shaving off every superfluous bit. Like a great comedy or song, this car has been edited down so that only the best remains.

But that’s not the full story. From the outside, this Corrado is as unornamented as Clint Eastwood’s face, but inside there’s a surprise. Like finding out that Eastwood writes the scores for many of his movies (true story) when you step inside of this Corrado, you find an elegant surprise. According to the seller, the previous owner ran an upholstery shop, so this car is not only redone in suede, but redone well. With diamond-pattern stitching on the seats and doors cars—very in vogue nowadays—this Corrado is the lap of luxury.

That said, it’s still a 20-year-old car, so it unfortunately has nearly 150,000 miles on the clock and the windshield is cracked. According to the owner there are a few other small niggles, but ultimately, it’s a fine automobile, for which the owner is asking $6,000. Check it out on the forum.

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 ...
