VW 235 Edition GTI is really a jump in horsepower to 235 horsepower, or 25 far more ponies than the currently great standard GTI. The name of the special edition VW arrives like a tribute to the simple fact that the GTI continues to be available in Europe for 35 decades. Not so within the U.S., however, so the name may need to change if it in fact reaches our shores. C/D factors out the first GTI hit the States in 1983, so the 30 Edition title might be a strong chance. Obviously, meaning the 35 badging about the doorway sills, seats and fenders will require to go, but we're guessing the deletes won't be a lot trouble in any respect.Volkswagen 235-hp 35 Edition GTI

Volkswagen Moog – All Electric Car By Klaud Wasiak
The Volkswagen Moog by designer Klaud Wasiak suggest an all new visual and audible language of zero-emission electric cars of the future. The concept, which has been inspired by electronic music, more specifically minimal techno, suggests how a future Volkswagen might sound like.
The concept also touches the historic path that electronic music took to achieve a successful result. The unique sound is produced by random placement of fractals that run underneath the vehicle. These fractals also capture noise and vibrations while driving to produce electricity that can assist onboard electronics.
VW Offers Chattanooga Police Jetta SportWagen TDIs to Keep Residents / Speedsters Safe
Now we've officially seen it all; a body-kitted German station-wagon running on a [relatively] small displacement four-cylinder diesel engine as a Sheriff's Department patrol car. And all thanks to VW's decision to donate two custom-made Jetta SportWagen TDI vehicles to the law enforcement departments of the City of Chattanooga and Hamilton County.
The donation was made as part of Volkswagen's ongoing efforts to reach out to the community of Chattanooga, where the German automaker is building a $1 billion plant that will produce among other cars, the New Midsize Sedan (NMS) starting from next year.

olkswagen said its engineers and designers overhauled the white Jetta SportWagen to incorporate special features including custom-built enclosures and mounts that hold all the communications and emergency lighting gear in place.
The car gets a body kit with front and rear aprons, and side skirts as well as 18-inch alloy wheels wrapped in 225/40 18" Goodyear Eagle GT All Season tires.
Under the hood, the Jetta SportWagen features VW's 2.0-liter TDI clean diesel four-cylinder engine with 236 ft.-lbs. of torque, that returns up to 42 miles per gallon on the highway.
Official Statements:
"Volkswagen is thrilled to be able to provide technologically advanced Jetta SportWagen vehicles to both the City of Chattanooga and Hamilton County police departments to help keep the area safe while driving in a reliable, versatile and stylish vehicle," said Frank Fischer, Chairman and CEO of Volkwagen's Chattanooga
"This generous gift is much appreciated and will be a welcomed addition to our expanding Chattanooga Police Department," said Chattanooga Mayor Ron Littlefield. "We applaud Volkswagen for their continued investment in our community."
"Since Volkswagen announced their billion dollar investment in Hamilton County they have demonstrated numerous times their willingness to be a good corporate neighbor," said Hamilton County Mayor Claude Ramsey. "Today's gift of two law enforcement vehicles is further proof of Volkswagen's commitment to Hamilton County and we thank them for their generosity."

2011 Volkswagen Eos Facelift Unveiled ahead of LA Show Debut
Four years after it hit the market, Volkswagen is giving the Eos coupe-cabriolet its first cosmetic makeover. The facelifted model, which will have its world premiere at the Los Angeles Auto Show in late November before going on sale in January 2011, receives an updated design and a host of new features.
The exterior restyling brings the Eos in line with VW's latest models such as the new Touareg, Passat B7 and Jetta. At the front, there's a new, and less prominent, upper grille which is now completely separated from the lower. Also new are the headlamps that incorporate horse-shoe shaped LED running lights, the bumper design and the more chiseled side mirrors.
Out back, the changes include a revised bumper housing a diffuser and new, rectangular-shaped tail lamps with LED technology.
Inside the cabin, the changes are really rather difficult to spot, being limited to some fresh colors, new controls for the air conditioning system and additional features such as the keyless locking and starting system, a new multi-function color display and the remote control for the retractable hardtop.
Aside from the use of BlueMotion technology with a start-stop system and regenerative braking on the 140HP 2.0-liter TDI diesel engine that reduces fuel consumption by 0.7 lt/100 km, bringing it down to 4.8 lt/100 km [49 mpg US], there aren't any other changes under the hood.
More details on the 2011 VW Eos will be released at the car's LA Sow premiere in November.
