I always thought he was roughly twice his age from his thumbnail pic..

This dash mounted nav thing is really getting out of hand.

It always depends on the weight and use. I currently drive a VW Up! with only 60hp and I didn’t think I’d be cool with that. But I am. As the car only weighs 2000lb, it hasn’t a lot to move and it feels reasonably quick. You won’t win any drag races with it and it’s no car for posing with numbers, but it’s absolutely…

What the fuck. Predecessor was seriously ugly and got a lot better.

Love the grille but what the fuck is going on with this part. Could’ve been such a good and clean design.

Nissan GTR.

Poor Camaro peed itself because of you!

I think it’s about german understatement and current design trends. A german car should look industrial/technical, understated, elegant, sporty. It should be like a good suit, and then there’s the brand color like racing blue, same with Polestar’s light blue or even Subaru, Ferrari red, British racing green.

Looks really good and clean, right until the bumper happened.

Great photo! Which model is that?

Interestingly, Volkswagen also used the very same color theme on a pre-release presentation of the T6 to car dealers in Hanover last week.

Think he deserved it with that sticker.

Well as much as I love Top Gear and the characters (in fact it was my favourite show and I watched every episode multiple times), it became a little obvious that they run out of ideas with the patented formula, while the hosts became more and more bored, less natural and engaged when the show was scripted more and…

Booty.

Well our family's T4 has 250k miles on it, is dead-on reliable and runs smooth as butter. I actually deal with some businesses running multiple T5's with as much as 300k on them as their daily and dependable workhorse, often hauling heavy loads. Might be that VW's European build quality just is superior to their…

Had a 2008 Chevrolet Kalos (well, Daewoo actually) for 1 1/2 years and I'm proud to survive it.

The basic platform will be shared with the Up!, as much as possible. That will take the car down a full size from the current modern Beetle, so packaging and space utilization will be very important. That's where we dig into VW's past, and pull from a prototype that almost became the Beetle's successor — the EA266.

Hm. When I first saw the picture, I thought this would be an article about a Bentley knock-off. Headlight/front end treatment seems wrong to me.

I get the fascination of army high-tech posts, but is this one really relevant to be cross-blogged on a car site?

Or Sir? From a British company?
