Volkswagen just released details about the 2011 Eos Exclusive, based on the recently revealed 2011 Eos two-door.

The VW Eos Exclusive looks virtually identical to the standard model, but underneath there's a whole new ballgame going on. Eos Exclusive sports an upgraded suspension and unique 18-inch 'Vicenza' alloy wheels.

The Volkswagen Passat BlueMotion has set a world record for traveling well over 1500 miles on one tank of fuel.

That's right folks, a Volkswagen Passat Bluemotion has taken a world record-breaking: 1,527 miles on a single tank of fuel. The Guinness World Records organization has officially recognized this as a world-beating distance!

Several patent drawings of the Volkswagen Jetta Coupe have leaked onto the web. These pictures of a once rumored Jetta two-door concept now make it clear that the German auto maker is planning a sportier version of their highly successful vehicle.

The official sketches were apparently leaked out of a government trademark office.

While details are limited, the car looks virtually identical to the New Compact Coupe (NCC) concept which debuted at the 2010 North American International Auto Show.

Compared to the concept, the production model features a revised grille, a modified lower air intake, and a dual exhaust system.

Like the redesigned 2011 Jetta sedan, engine options will likely include a wide varity - a 103 hp 1.2-liter TSI, a 158-hp 1.4-liter TSI, a 168 hp 2.5-liter, and a 197 horsepower 2.0-liter TSI.

In Europe, and possibly in the United States, a diesel variant will be available. With that, we can expect a 103 hp 1.6-liter TDI BlueMotion and a 138 horsepower 2.0-liter TDI.
