Porsche Covers its Enormously Complicated and Ridiculously Overloaded 911 Range

Confession time: I don’t know what the hell 911 people are talking about most of the time. Apart from the 911 GT2 RS (whose distinction from the 911 GT3 RS is a little unclear to me) the 911 lineup is a frightening an mysterious mess to me and I can’t tell one from the other.

Seriously, you could rattle off all the suffixes you wanted and I still wouldn’t know if your 911 was designed to impress your golf buddies or blitz the Nurburgring faster than a Lambo.

Fortunately, I seem not to be the only one, because Porsche has taken time out of its busy 911-naming schedule to actually go through the whole lineup. And time it must have taken, too, because there are no fewer than 24 variations of 911 available to buyers. How does Porsche train its salespeople?

Got that? Good. Alright, the next test is on chassis codes and which ones are worth mere thousands versus which are worth millions for some reason.

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 ...
