Volkswagen Nils : 2011

2011 Volkswagen Nils.

The 2011 Volkswagen Nils electric concept shown at the 2011 64th International Motor Show (IAA) in Frankfurt is a bit of an oddball, and some would say not a real hatchback, but I think it qualifies on two counts. The rear opens like a hatch, and I like Volkswagen. Who knows, this might be what the future of hatchbacks is.

Volkswagen GTI Mk 1 : 1984

1984 Volkswagen GTI Mk 1

The GTi has long been one of my top favorite hatchbacks, and this 1984 Volkswagen GTI Mk 1 is probably as close as you’re gonna get to an original MK1. It was on display at Volkswagen of America headquarters in Auburn Hills, Michigan for approximately seven years.  Volkswagen’s recent move to Virginia caused the car to be sold in February of 2011.  The car was sold new in late 1983 and it was kept by the original owner until 2004, when it was purchased by a Volkswagen employee and put on display.
