i believe Worthersee loosely translates to ‘Worthless’

“but a sports exhaust system should make the little hatch at least sound fast. “… yup, sounds pretty worthless

@ 2telluthetruth – There are a lot of people buying VW’s here. Maybe not where you live but they are still selling quite well. I would say that the reason their designs aren’t changing much is because of the level of success that they are having. “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”
I know that the progression from MKV to MKVI may not be much but I would consider the MKVI to be a MKV.5. The current MKV has only been on the market for 4 model years. Look for a COMPLETELY redone model in 2011. I would argue that the progession from the MKIV to MKV was huge. Same is true with the other models except for the Bettle.
Just drive a VW ,any one but the Bettle, and you will know why they are number 1 or 2 in the world.

@ all of y’all who aint like wat I had ta say: I know wat om talkin bout wit vw. I’m a big fan of the late 80’s, early 90’s cabriolet, rabbit n golfs. However, there’s not that much people buying vw’s here…anymore…because the other choices they have here. Vw’s sport game should be respected [afterall it is well german engineered] along w/ the quality of their materials–there designs arent bad at all, but, their designs arent changin much either! I know they could do better than just sport variants! Like I said, “I know wat om talkin bout!’

I said nothing about hate, nor should it be taken as I hate VW as a whole, in fact to rephrase that I don’t hate VW at all, don’t think I could any time soon pending what porsche does to them, and then if I do hate them I have a specific rear engined car company to blame for it

@ atoms – why the hate? I love that people hate VW for being so successful. They are the number 1 car company in the world right now, sorry Toyota, and people couldn’t hate them more… i dont get it.

@2telluthe truth – VWs may be expensive but they are not overpriced. You certainly get what you pay for. There is nothing like the GTI on the road.

@JakeK66 – Those wheels are BBS CM wheels, they can be had on tirerack.

I think its a huge meeting of people who have souped up VW’s somewhere in austria, so pretty much they round up every tool in europe into one place

I like the GTI’s wheels and great metallic red. The interior changes, though, are really nothing more than the seats – I hope I can find the pattern for those aftermarket and the wheels- I like! Those are the same floormats in my GTI I ordered through VW.

BTW wtf does Wörthersee mean?

If you think that vw’s are overpriced, you should also think that every american car should have a price reflecting its actual worthiness, about 1/3rd of its asking price!!!!

Vw’s new cars are really stepping it up with design imo, especially with their interiors……..wish gm was…..not really……i don’t care about them

Who cares if vw unveiled two wateva, the GOV’T is about to own gm. [I could keep this up all day]

No but serious who cares. Vw aint as hot (exciting) as it used to be. Their looks arent evolving enough, or too well, on most of their most important models, plus thier prices are too high. the only thing helpin dem right now is some good ol’ german engineering!
