Here are some more information for Volkswagen Thing:

Still on the road today and ever changing since 1976 is the Volkswagen Golf GTI. This car was first introduced to the states as the rabbit and the GTI tag later became a trim level available on the VW Golf. Now in its 5th version the VW GTI has come to be known as the original hot hatch. Although today the GTI is less of a spartan and lightweight car to be tossed about and much more of a refined fully loaded vehicle it still has roots deep in the original.
These cars still have a very dedicated following and for good reason, but they are also still plentiful even in older MKII and MKI versions and can easily be had for under $1000 bucks if you know where to look.
For this profile I will be focusing on the older models that can be found for cheap (and in my opinion are the best looking) Which is mainly going to be versions MKI and MKII but who knows? You may come across an MKIII that is in need of some work for cheap.
What makes these cars All-Stars is a fairly simple formula. A small light weight design with a performance minded suspension that is simple but effective. Combine this with a simple but fun and effective 4 cylinder and a front wheel drive layout and you have a car that anybody can push to its limits. Most older GTI's are going to be in 2.0 8v form but the much more desirable versions have 16v engines with a lot more breathing capability. MKIII's had an available VR6 but good luck finding one for under $1000 bucks.
Like most tuner favorites the GTI has a unique ability to take on a large or small amount of mods and still provide lots of fun. If your budget permits a popular swap in the lighter and older models can be to use modern hardware such as 1.8t and VR6 engines.
Check out almost any shape or form of motor sport and your likely to see an old GTI in the pack. From auto-cross to rally racing these cars have an aftermarket that can support just about any type of motorsport your into, and if racing is not your thing the spacious interior, very functional hatch, and great gas mileage make the GTI even an awesome car for the daily commute.
A quick reminder for those in the hunt for an old GTI they come in various levels from bone stock to heavily modified and depending on your purposes and budget this can greatly effect your decision. There are still plenty of cars out there for under $1000 dollars in great running shape, but unfortunately the numbers are becoming smaller by the day so if you want one start looking and don't wait!

Volkswagen to Break-even in 2009 and Reports Second-quarter Profit Increased
Europe’s largest automaker Volkswagen AG is hoping to obtain break-even for its North American market by 2009 or earliest that is according to Volkswagen’s Chief Labor Representative Bernd Osterloh in an interview with Dow Jones Newswires last Friday.
Osterloh was quoted saying, "I hope this is achieved." He also admitted that it’s going to be hard target to achieve. He further added that in order to reach such goal there should be an increase in productivity and at the same time there should be a reduction in the purchasing costs. He also suggest for the purchasing of parts locally.
Mr. Osterloh has said that the North America would become the central market for the company in the coming years. And in accordance to such plan, Europe’s largest automaker and producer of Volkswagen bus parts , Volkswagen has already sent its best man for the North American market, Stefan Jacoby, who would assume the position of Chief Executive of Volkswagen of America starting this coming September 1, 2007.
Mr. Osterloh said that he is not yet aware whether production would resume in the United States with the construction of the new factory. But one thing is for sure that before the Wolfsburg-based automaker gives out the go signal, there would be a study first on the capacity utilization in Mexico.
Mr. Osterloh also explained that it is important for the company to produce car models for the US market if it wants to produce sales volume. He said models that should be made must be similar to the size of the Passat or the Jetta. And if in case the plan really do pushed through then models that are especially designed for the US market could be officially launched before 2010.

What's the little plastic cup thing by the steering wheel for in a Volkswagen bug?
I test drove a new beetle today and noticed a little clear plastic cup-like thing just to the right of the steering wheel. And I've noticed that other beetle's have them. What are they for?
VW dealers put a flower in it when you bought the Beetle from them. Great marketing move.
