Cancer, unfortunately is indiscriminate and can affect anyone, regardless of their age or health. It's why Stupid Cancer, a non-profit organization helps support and empower young adults who have been diagnosed exists. One of the ways the group does this is through its yearly oncology conference and social networking event dubbed OMG! Cancer Summit for Young Adults, now in its fifth year.

The sedan has always been the king of new car sales in the United States, even with the various market demand shifts towards trucks, SUVs, and crossovers throughout the years. Because of the sedan's consistency, Kelley Blue Book (KBB) is always sure to place much emphasis and detail on its yearly "10 Best Sedans Under $25,000" list. So, like all lists, everyone wants to know; which model came in at number one? Well, it's no surprise to us here at Boston Volkswagen as the 2012 Passat took home top honors.

While some automakers try to grab the attention of skeptics with flashy exteriors, Volkswagen knows that, when it comes to hybrid, most consumers want just the opposite. Due to the fact that gas-electric models are often associated with poor performance and style, many potential hybrid buyers look for a vehicle that appears the same as the gas-only variant they love. Despite the fact that the 2013 Volkswagen Jetta Hybrid doesn't fall under that negative hybrid stereotype, VW isn't taking any chances.

Experiments aren't just for science. Creative automaker's like Volkswagen enjoy playing around with different combinations and mixtures as well...of the automotive sort of course. And it's a good thing too. Thanks to a bit of out-of-the-box thinking from VW engineers, we at Boston Volkswagen are able to hold an entire lineup of innovative new Volkswagen models on our lot.
