Golf R Colour Program Becomes Color Program!

Canada has come up with a few bright ideas in its time. Hockey, its eponymous bacon, single payer health insurance (edgy), but none is greater than the colour program. And now it’s being exported to America.

That’s right, the Volkswagen Spektrum Program will allow you to pick any one of 40 colors for your 2019 Golf R.

Unfortunately, the colors can’t be seen in the configurator (YET) but among the colors are Nogaro Blue Pearl, Violet Touch Metallic, Copper Orange, Caribbean Green, Viper Green Metallic (that’s Canada’s number one pick!), Deep Blue Pearl, Ginster Yellow and so many more (you can see them all in the image below).

Picking one of these historic colors will cost you an extra $2,500 and you’ll eventually be able to use the configurator to see the colors from 360 degrees. Dealers will also soon get a color sample kit, so you can see them in real life.

The option also means that your Golf R will have to be made to order. That means that you’ll have to wait two to four months to get it.

No word yet on whether or not the e-Golf will be offered with these colors, as is the case in Canada.

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

Waterfest Moves to Atco Dragway

Waterfest 24 will be held at Atco Dragway, in Atco, New Jersey. The summer event will take place at its new venue on July 21 and 22. Long held in Englishtown, New Jersey, the festival has been such a large part of the VW scene that the latest iteration of the Golf even comes with optional “Englishtown” wheels . The new venue, however, is an NHRA drag track a scant 52 miles southwest of Englishtown. The ¼ mile drag track opened in 1960, which makes it the oldest drag strip in New Jersey. The announcement came today on a social media post that announced the new location. Waterfest is North America’s largest VW/Audi show. As many 20,000 people show up for the annual show, making the second largest show in the world—with Worthersee being number one. 2018 will be Waterfest’s 24 th year in existence.
