The marketplace is becoming crammed with compact crossovers. But that hasn’t discouraged Volkswagen from adding another unit. For 2009 this brand is offering a uniquely named crossover SUV – the Tiguan. It’s a very unique name that’s courtesy of Volkswagen aficionados. The company made a poll on its website and let the public decide what name to give the latest offering. Tiguan means part Tiger and part Iguana.

This crossover SUV has a very deceiving appearance. It looks small outside, but when you get inside it’s quite spacious. It can accommodate four adults, but if they are just slim 5 can be seated. The dashboard is a display of carefully organized controls and switches. The seats are easily adjustable – they can slide up and back, recline, fold, and split so there’s more space for cargo if needed. Other interior features include power windows, power locks, cruise control, four 12-volt power points, music players, and an electronic parking brake. This car will already bear ESP or Electronic Stability Program.

Try and try until you succeed seems to be Volkswagen’s motto in developing vehicles. Because their previously released VW Phaeton did not make a great start in some part of the world, specifically in the big market of North America, Volkswagen is collaborating with the British sports and racing car manufacturer Lotus in giving a “face-lift” to the Phaeton that was released back in 2003 to 2005. In fact a prototype of the next generation Phaeton was seen recently cruising along the British soil, specifically around Hethel where Lotus is located, although the two car companies are staying tight-lipped over this speculation.

It is two-become-one story for the Volkswagen vehicles Golf Sport and GT trims. Volkswagen launches the new Golf GT Sport with its firm new look and better furnishings that enhances it market value all the more. As a combination of the two previous trims, it just makes it right that the Golf GT Sport bears vigorous under-the-hood specs like the 1.4-liter TSI engine that makes use of supercharger and a turbocharger in producing high power for the excellent rod performance most car owners crave. An optional engine is likewise available in the form of the 2.0-liter TDI diesel engine.

Who can resist the charm of a convertible? Not a lot. Ever since the introduction of this particular style, many car enthusiasts have been drawn to it, men and women – both. Many car makes or brands have been involved in producing convertibles and now German car makers Volkswagen is among them with the introduction of the Volkswagen Eos.

The Volkswagen Eos is available in 6 trims and one of them is the Eos 3.2. Like any convertibles, this particular model is hard to resist. The hardtop takes approximately 25 seconds to fold if you want to feel the breeze as you cruise along. This car part folds into 5 segments so it does look unpleasant in its corner.
