H20i Postponed Until 2018

One of the Volkswagen scene’s foremost car shows, H20 International, has been canceled for 2017. The show has not been canceled permanently, though, with organizers expecting the show to return in 2018.

Organizers announced the move today in a post on the show’s official site. The decision came after concerns over maintaining the quality of the show proved too much for event organizers.

“After working extraordinarily hard to provide you with the same quality of even that you have come to expect,” starts the release, “I am saddened to announce that this year’s H2Oi will be postponed until next year.”

The east coast show is known as the “laid back” event for watercooled Volkswagen Group cars and attracts hundreds of cars and thousands of guests every year. The show has become one of the staples of the car show season for VW fans, but with difficulties in finding a venue and a quickly ending season, the show could not go on.

“I personally cannot thank you enough for your continued support,” reads the release. “I look forward to seeing you next year, when we will celebrate the 20th anniversary of H2Oi the right way!”

Despite the bad news, the release ended with a positive tease from the show’s organizers.

“Please stay tuned for the announcements about an exciting and brand new H2Oi Series, starting in Spring 2018.”

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 ...
