2012 Volkswagen Golf R [w/video]
It is nearly impossible to avoid reminiscing about the 1983 Volkswagen GTI while driving the 2012 Volkswagen Golf R. As you may recall, "the original hot hatch" arrived on our shores seemingly eons ago with a naturally aspirated 1.8-litre four spitting out just 90 horsepower. While hardly brawny, even in an era of wheezy outputs (the 1983 Mustang GT 5.0L generated just 175 horsepower), its low curb weight of 952.5 kilograms (2,100 pounds) and a base price of under $10-grand made the range-topping Rabbit not only light, tossable and reasonably quick, but very affordable.

The Order Guide: 2012 Beetle
Whatever you do, don’t call it the New Beetle. Don’t even call it the New New Beetle. It’s just the Beetle. This is the second generation of Beetle since Volkswagen brought back the iconic shape in 1998, and VW has decided it’s time to lose the New. Which is good, because the new Beetle is much better than the old New Beetle.

Road test: 2012 Volkswagen GLI
Drivers everywhere love the Volkswagen Golf GTI. And so they should: the car provides one of the purer driving experiences available from a small car, transforming a regular Golf into a minor pinnacle of performance.

2012 Volkswagen Golf R first drive
Part of the Volkswagen Group's master plan to become the world's largest automaker is to create cars that appeal to more than the traditional zealots and geeks who have always been attracted to the idea of a German-engineered (and built) car but not with the premium pricing normally associated with uppity brands like Audi, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz. Instead, we now have "new" VWs, like the Jetta and Passat.
