If you are like us you probably have dreams of owning each example of the VW Golf since the first generation. Well time to make plans on owning a seventh.

Over the weekend VW debuted the latest version of the highly successful model. Loosing 220 lb. and gaining safety, comfort and fuel efficiency (23%) the new Golf is the biggest to date.

Exterior wise a strong shoulder line has been added as well as refined front and rear bumper design treatments. Inside has received the surgeons touch with sculpted seats and dash.

More importantly is the prospect of a base model 1.4L turbocharged engine, but VW has yet to confirm of such an engine in the U.S. Rumors suspect the return of a 1.8T (crossing-fingers).

All we know is we want to get our hands on one to see what kind of tuning potential the Mk7 will posses. We think a competition is in order soon. Stay tuned.

    One of the most common flexes among the biggest automakers is to squirrel away examples of their best and rarest work over their history to eventually show off those pieces as an anthology. Not long ago, we received a glimpse at a new exhibit at the Honda Collection Hall in Japan, and much deeper in

    Roll racing is having a moment – or at least it was before COVID hit and shut down a year’s worth of events. The motorsport phenomenon that we first noticed through the likes of Texas2K two-plus decades ago and a few other copycat events around the country since had some momentum heading into 2020 before

    In order to get the full story of Garage Active, and its animated founding father, you would need more than just a single feature. In all honesty, you would probably need something along the lines of the Lord of the Rings sized trilogy, complete with all of the spin-offs, behind-the-scenes extras and perhaps even that

    As a color choice, we don’t generally see a lot of turquoise on tuner cars; it seems to be a hue favored more by bejeweled sun-loving grandmas with leathery skin rather than Japanese car fans.
