Right there with you. I also acquired a 2016 GTI last March and couldn’t be happier. This is after having a 15-year love/hate relationship with a Jetta 1.8T. VW just gets in your blood. I find it kind of cruel irony that VW was mercilessly bludgeoned with the Dieselgate scandal, when I could tell you for a fact that…

I’m pretty certain the amount of money you have is inversely proportional to how quickly a beautiful car becomes gaudy. (i.e. Mansory, Gemballa, this car)

At least there are a kajillion surfaces you can stick Go Pro’s on when you make your sweet stanced dubstep video for your bruh’s.

Now I miss my old girl. 15 years of bliss. *sniff*

I’m sorry. I swear you just used the word “stunning” to describe this car. Wait....

It’s like a NACA duct shtupped a JDM kit.

One word. Rechtsfahren. Live it.

That gates me in the feels.

It’s better if you read it in German.....

Sweet. Jesus. This gets me in the Black and Red Feels.

A Panamera GTS with a manual... wait, I’m sorry. I was dreaming for a minute. Never mind.

I live in an urban area that has heavy light pollution at all times, so it’s fairly easy to understand why people don’t remember to put them on. That still doesn’t forgive the fact that when you are driving, be cognizant enough of your driving environment and what you’re doing to not put others in danger by forgetting…

Jesus, but WHY? Adding NACA ducts and hood fins to a body does not a bespoke car make. Might as well have had Gemballa or Mansory do it. Nope.

Darwin missed him by JUUUSST this much. Dammit.

I’m not exactly sure why Jalopnik has such a hard-on for seeing VW die, but seeing as they’ve posted more stories regarding their impending death knell in the past couple of months I guess they’ll get whatever traction they can out of the story. Me? I’m going to the dealer this weekend and testing out a new GTI…

You keep saying that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Yeah, I’ve never seen this come out of a later model VW. Rolling coal? I don’t think so. Like you said, I don’t condone VW’s behavior, but man this is getting out of hand.

I know it’s a bitch to keep clean, but black is so sexy on a Ferrari.

I would buy this car in a heartbeat... if I had the 40K to purchase it. Ugh. So. Damn. Expensive.
