Boston Volkswagen

Sometimes if you want something bad enough, all you have to do is ask. VW aficionados took this adage into account last year and requested the arrival of a brand-new Volkswagen Golf variant. Boston Volkswagen is very pleased to announce that the automaker was happy to oblige. The 2012 VW Golf R will be released early next year in the U.S. market at a price tag of $33,990.

In America, the notion of tiny cars often means restricted interiors, little storage, and gutless engines. But German automaker Volkswagen challenged this idea when it released concept models of the anticipated Volkswagen Up! at the 2011 Frankfurt Auto Show in August.

The Volkswagen Up! lineup includes a series of models based on different lifestyles. From indulgent, "far-out" models to down-to-earth, realistic ones, Volkswagen designed each concept to cater to a specific market segment.

After a solid time of testing, the production version of the three-door Volkswagen Up! was released. This Volkswagen Up! contains a long wheelbase of 95.3 inches…

All right all you Beetle fans...get ready. If you thought the resent redesign of the 2012 Volkswagen was impressive. You're absolutely going to love the Beetle R concept, the German automaker just revealed at the Frankfurt Motor Show. It's sportier. It's more indulgent. And, it pushes the more masculine silhouette of the 2012 model about three steps further.

With the renowned "R" Moniker, the Volkswagen Beetle R Concept promises premium performance. In fact, it's reported that as an R, the Beetle could deliver performance on par with the Golf R (270 PS) and Scirocco R…

Volkswagen has created a concept to help paint a better picture of where they see the future of urban driving. The German automaker has designed a single seat automobile that has been dubbed the Volkswagen NILS . This week, auto enthusiasts around the world will have the opportunity to see the concept's official debut, at the Frankfurt Motor Show, in Germany.

With two gullwing doors, plus a rear hatch, the  Volkswagen NILS concept has three times as many doors as it does seats. At first glance, it looks like something that flew in from the Jetsons. But, beneath its futuristic…

In the United States, the Volkswagen Golf and Volkswagen Eos are this German auto maker's version of small cars. But over in Europe, an even smaller (thus more fuel efficient) vehicle is coming to dealership lots.

 

The Volkswagen Up! Concept (Yes, it's actually properly spelled "up!" by the company) has been built into a production ready model. "This new concept city car will make its debut first in Germany next year. It will be an entry level vehicle for the foreign auto maker."¹

 

Powering this economy class VW is your choice of various 1.0 liter gas…

Volkswagen first introduced their up! concept in 2007, at the Frankfurt Motor Show.  Ever since, we've been hoping to see a production model. Happily, we don't have long to wait. The up! production model will make its world premier at the Grand Palais on the Champs-Elsees in Paris, on August 22.

Given the Volkswagen up!'s modern, yet super-friendly aesthetic, and comfortable seating for four, it's certain to give other cars competing?

It is easy to see why the Volkswagen Passat has become a popular car for many Americans, offering more options and luxury features than its competitors. Unfortunately, reports that the Euro-market Volkswagen Passat Wagon was seen testing on American soil filled many with false hopes for greater cargo room.

Volkswagen has officially ruled against bringing the Passat wagon to North America. While Boston Volkswagen can empathize with the disappointment this news brings, we can't say we're surprised. The days when wagons were the apple of U.S. drivers' eyes represent a bygone era. Today, Volkswagen is appealing to U.S. consumer demand for taller, beefier vehicles with the Tiguan SUV, Touareg SUV, and Routan minivan. And remember, they haven't discounted the old-school cool of wagons entirely. For families and sports enthusiasts craving a little more room for people and gear, Volkswagen presents the "wagon for people who aren't wagon people...with vroom to spare"¹: the Jetta SportWagen.
