Just talking tonight about a friend looking for a Westfalia. Thought this was going to be on those lines.
Still cool. [thumbsup]

I hate the Westfallia. They are always holding up traffic just putting down the road at 45 miles an hour until they get to a turn. Then they slow down to 37 miles an hour for the fast sweepers and 23 mph for the slower turns. They pass up all the turn outs and then get annoyed when the ten cars behind them start trying to pass or dare to honk their horns.

I'm not a big fan of them either. And they are stupidly expensive for what they are.
They would be better served by being made into furniture.
how can 'man' and 'vw' be used together?
I do like some of the other VW models. The Jetta is cool and the GTI too.

The Touregs are cool too. Even the regular ones.
That turbo lamp is cool as hell.
The transmission sink is a close second.

ok, I'll give you that. IF it were close to that on the road.
but rabbit, golf, fox, passat, jetta... special editions or not, they are just not that impressive.
the wife likes the CC but it's just a spruced up jetta imo.
Take on for a spin. It'll boggle your mind.

Jetta 2 bodies capacity in the trunk and maybe a couple loose body parts..
Passat 3 bodies in the trunk and a few body parts...
CC...almost 3 bodies in the trunk unless you get some creative folding going on due to the slightly different body lines for elegance...
also...the Passat/CC IMHO is a more stable chassis in the curves and more comfortable overall in general.
Every time I see a CC, I do a double take. Nice design.
The Passat, not as much. Too generic in comparison.

we have 1 customer here at work...when he brings his CC in for service...his wife picks him up and drops him off later in her Benz CLS....it is funny to see them side by side....
I'll take a BMW over VW anyday of the week... and have [thumbsup]
that's your choice and there is nothing wrong with that....me, I work at a VW dealership and while I know the product line isn't perfect...it pays my bills and I freely acknowledge there is no perfect brand....they all have some inherent issues somewhere...just a matter of figuing out if it is something you can cope with or not when you spend your money.
actually, i just realize i came across bashing the brand.
it is what it is, a good low cost for the most part, quality car.
just I don't see it as 'man' cave compatible. maybe 'metrosexual' cave. or 'beatnik peacefreak' cave. but not 'man' cave ;D

well...while overall I agree with you...there have been a few exceptions...1 of which was a one off, but still droolworthy...the W12 AWD GTi that VW built for showing off...
as a gearhead, when you strip things down to bare essentual mechanical stuff, a motor is impressive if engineered and executed well and that is somethat VWAG has been very good at if you really think about it...

I was looking at the exposed engine on an old bug last week. It is a very simple design and looks easy to work on. Never the less I don't like those things. I think the Westfallia probably has the same engine, which partially explains why they are always at the head of a long line of cars.
I also never liked the interior on the old VW's or the smell of cheap vinyl that exuded from those old cars.
But the new cars....
Whole different car, from a whole different company.
When did the man of the house go back to being man of the cave?
Please tell me that the man cave heating system doesn't run through the exhaust...

OK the heating system does
not run through the exhaust. How's that?

2 Pro Stock VW's drag racing! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AA1fddSlV90&sns=em#)
Running in the 9s ain't bad. I bet neither one of them has the stock awful interior and obviously not the stock 60 hp engine.
