First Drive Volkswagen Beetle
First Drive Volkswagen Beetle - The 2012 New Volkswagen Beetle First Drive that introduced the world to the unfortunate, oxymoronic marketing cutism called "retromodernism." The last Beetle might have sold well, but it was largely an unloved creature, and it never maintained the initial euphoria. Unlike the Mini, for example, or the Fiat 500. 2012 Volkswagen Beetle: First Drive In a little over a decade Volkswagen saw its Beetle transform from Adolf Hitler's dream of the "people's car" to the foulest of all marketing slurs — a "chick car." Does the 2012 Volkswagen Beetle finally provide a more manly solution? We drove it today to find out.
The front-engined, front-wheel-drive New Beetle, first launched in 1998, was as far away as Volkswagen could get from the simple rear-engined, rear-wheel-drive formula that made the original the longest-running and most-manufactured automobile of a single design platform anywhere in the world.

2012 Volkswagen Touareg Review
2012 Volkswagen Touareg Review - The 2012 Volkswagen Touareg shows the road ahead with advanced, fuel-saving technologies, and a new premium driving experience. This is VW’s Race Touareg 3 concept, based on the endurance monster that took the top three places in this year’s Dakar rally - the two-week race that’s now run across Argentina and Chile’s roughest landscapes. And as you’ve probably guessed, this isn’t some regular showroom-spec Touareg with the body of a real Dakar winner. This is a real Dakar winner, albeit a slightly cosier one, reformatted for us regular civvies.
The Volkswagen Touareg can tackle the most rugged of terrain yet cruise down the highway in luxurious comfort. And a properly equipped Touareg is rated to tow up to 7,700 pounds.
The 2012 Volkswagen Touareg is a mid-size crossover SUV produced by German automaker Volkswagen since 2002. It was the third sport utility vehicle from the automaker, after the much older Volkswagen 181 "Kurierwagen", and the Iltis (later produced by Bombardier). One even holds the world record for the heaviest load towed by a passenger car, pulling a Boeing 747 as part of an advertising campaign.

The 2011 Dakar-winning Race Touareg is powered by a 2.5-liter TDI producing 296 hp and 442 lb.-ft, sent through three limited-slip diffs via a 5-speed sequential gearbox and a ZF-Sachs three-plate ceramic clutch. Presumably, the concept has that going on as well.

2012 Volkswagen Golf Review
2012 Volkswagen MkVI Golf Review - Volkswagen’s MkVI Golf has been on sale for less than a year (in most parts of the globe) but development on the next-generation of the popular compact is already well underway in Germany. Volkswagen has since edited the video to remove the leak but thanks to the guys at Auto Motor und Sport we have this screen shot of the clay model. The design shows clear links to the new Scirocco and Polo, with a pronounced front end and narrow headlights.
As the most powerful small car ever offered by Volkswagen, the 2012 VW Golf R has a dual purpose in appealing to previous owners of the previous Golf R32 and to bring new visibility to the R line of performance vehicles.
