While we haven't had the pleasure of piloting a 2009 VW Tiguan quite yet, our good friends at Popular Mechanics have thrown the mini-ute around a bit and pronounced it more Golf than Touareg — a good thing. Powered only by the 2.0-liter turbo mill making 200 HP and 207 lb-ft of twist, the Tiguan...

It was when the oil light came on that I started to run through the appropriate next steps in my head...and realized that there aren't any appropriate next steps when warning lights start going off in a 1982 VW Vanagon camper.

The affluent neighborhood of Glencoe, Illinois is home to a curving street of Frank Lloyd Wright -designed houses reached by a single-access bridge also designed by Wright. The black 2008 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen parked on said bridge couldn't be more incongruous to the surrounding Prairie School...

With auto show season officially, mercilessly, thankfully over, the Jalopnik Fantasy Garage stands to be full in just six weeks. A short time by any standard, but especially so when distilling over a hundred years of automotive excellence into just 50 vehicles. Two weeks ago saw the induction of the...
