Boston Volkswagen

When we first heard of the Volkswagen XL1, it was a most pleasant surprise. The plug-in diesel hybrid has a unique build unlike anything we'd seen before. Once the details trickled out, it appeared that it wouldn't be a model coming to America. But, recent news has presented a small glimmer of hope for us at Boston Volkswagen and we'll tell you why.

Recently, Mark Gillies, Volkswagen of America's Manager for Product and Technology Communications stated that the automaker could be looking to lease the vehicle out to people who really wanted to maximize their efficiency…

It's said that the Volkswagen Golf GTI is oft kopiert, nie erreicht. That means "often copied, never equaled" in German. We'd tend to agree; the sporty hatch is like no other. What's also unique about it is the yearly festival dedicated to the model itself in Wörthersee.

It's a place where GTI lovers can gather to show off their rides that they've tuned and customized, participate in burnout events, and just have an all-around good time with parties and music. VW uses it as a venue to showcase new Volkswagen models, and even premiere the latest ideas and concepts.

At this year's event, the automaker rolled out the Golf GTD, a diesel-powered GTI, the GTI Cabriolet designed by apprentices from VW plants as they hone skills and foster teamwork, and a rally edition of the popular European-only Volkswagen Polo.

There were two models that really stood out to us at Boston Volkswagen, however. One would be the Amarok Power Pickup, providing most of the world with a small truck option with all the amenities you'd expect to find on new VW models. We're hoping one day, it can come to the U.S. and our Watertown, MA showroom. The other would be the Design Vision Golf GTI. This bold and daring hatch has a stunning exterior frame, and boasts a 503-horsepower, 3.0-liter V6 TSI with two turbo chargers. With specs like that, you know it will be fun to drive.

If you'd like to take a closer look at new Volkswagen models, stop in and see us today. Our team would be happy to answer any questions you might have, and set up test drives at your convenience.

Back in 2009 Volkswagen revealed a concept car that was almost ready for the market. The VW BlueSport roadster concept was a drivable, efficient convertible and looked ready for production. Enthusiast were eager to see it hit Boston VW showroom floors. Unfortunately, the idea never came to fruition. However, that's not to say the idea was scraped all together.

We don't know what we'd do without the courageous fire fighters in the United States, always ready to throw themselves selflessly into danger, whether it's a national tragedy or that little kitchen fire you started from toasting the bread a bit too long. Volkswagen certainly appreciates them too and is showing it through a large donation of vehicles.

Training is incredibly important, no matter how experienced you are in your field, and…

The New York International Auto Show is never devoid of wonderful surprises and inspiring moments of automotive glory. Adding one more shining award atop the pile that already surrounds the Volkswagen Golf, a well-attended ceremony at the NY expo left the vehicle named the World Car of the Year and all of us here at Boston Volkswagen couldn't be more proud.

The other awards we speak of include the European Car of the Year…

Here at Boston Volkswagen, we know how much parents stress about the safety features of their family vehicles. Believe it or not, we're parents too and that's why we were incredibly proud when the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety found nine of our new Volkswagen models to be "Top Safety Picks". However, we would like to dedicate a Volkswagen blog post to our more family oriented vehicles.

The fact that Geek Squad has the largest computer repair site and that they will repair any computer no matter how old it is or where it was purchased is nice and reassuring.
