Find Of The Day: Kylo Ren, Your Car Is Ready

Fake it til you make it, right? What if you’re a member of Badass Middle Management and you’re hoping to claw your way up to Chief Badass? Well here’s the car for you: a sinister looking 2014 Jetta GLI.

The Jetta GLI is a car that flies under the radar. It has the performance of many cars twice its price, but an understated look that only gets a few second glances from onlookers. Fanboys bow down to worship other German uber-sedans, but the GTI-with-a-trunk is mostly seen as just another sedan. With some minor updates, this autobahn-bred automobile can rise to its rightful place of power. Sure it’s not a car for Lord Vader, but it’s great for those aspiring to be him.

If your career goals include universal domination and you lack the budget for, say, an Audi A8, or BMW 7 series, or a Bentley Mulsanne, this 2014 GLI portrays a similar image. For one, it’s practical with a large cabin and a practical trunk. It has a powerful 2.0T engine mated to an I’m-in-total-control 6-speed manual transmission. The second set of doors let you shuttle other leaders to a power lunch in Canto Bight. A two-seat cruiser or some rough-around-the-edges cargo vehicle just won’t show how ready you are to take on a supreme leadership position.

This particular GLI has some excellent upgrades. It’s a one-owner car with 52,000 or so miles. An “Autobahn” trim car, it has factory navigation and sunroof. VWVortex member jt_mk6 added ST coilovers, an AWE cat-back exhaust, Neuspeed cold-air intake, dark window tint, and much more. This GLI rides on 18″ Niche Misano wheels in dark grey, but you’ll have to buy them separately.

If you’re looking to move up in your own First Order, then this could be just the car for you, young Kylo Ren. You can look at the car in-person in Utica, New York. Check out the photos in our classifieds. Current asking price: $15,500 not including the wheels.

If you buy it, make sure to call your dad and share the good news.

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 ...
