Every year, automakers come out with concept cars, prototypes of future ideas that cause visitors to auto shows worldwide to ooh and aah over crazy designs, wild new features, and innovative systems. However, most of these concept cars remain just that, a pipe dream of what the future of the automobile might hold that usually […]
The electric vehicle (EV) landscape shifted significantly on March 15, 2021, and put Tesla on notice: be afraid, be very afraid. Why? Here comes Volkswagen, hard on its heels and giving buyers a solid reason to google “VW dealer near me” to get connected to the automaker that’s coming in hot with cutting-edge EV technology. […]
The first-ever Volkswagen all-electric compact crossover SUV carries an odd name, sounding more like a software iteration than a brand new model.

Inverted pyramid be damned, we’re going to take a quick trip back in time before we hit you with the latest and most current auto news. Trust us, the context is worth it.
