Image for article titled Why Buy A VW Golf GTI When You Can Now Pay The Same For The Golf R At Dealerships?

Image: Volkswagen

The Volkswagen Golf GTI is all-new for 2022. So new, in fact, that many dealers still don’t have them in stock. For the dealers that do have these hot hatches in stock, they’ve put them out with hot new markups. Once again, dealers have gone and made the once relatively affordable vehicle unaffordable, putting this hatch at a price level comparable to its spicy brother, the Golf R.

The 2022 GTI comes with three rim levels with pricing ranging from $29,545 to $37,995, that’s according to VW. As for dealers’ plans, of the nearly 400 new 2022 GTI’s I found for sale across the country, over 130 have pricing over $43,000. That’s at least $5,000 to over $13,000 over standard pricing.

AutoFair VW of Nashua in Merrimack, NH has a ‘22 GTI in stock for $43,899. What’s wild is that this is the price after a $3,000 price drop.

Or how about Vista VW in Pompeo Beach, FL who’s asking nearly $47,000 for their GTI (remember the SE starts at $34,295).

Then there’s Northhampton VW in Northhampton, MA. They have what looks to be the highest-priced GTI in the country right now. There is a blue ‘22 GTI SE in stock that they claim has an MSRP of $47,339 with a suspiciously absent window sticker link. Except that MSRP is impossible to achieve on a GTI SE. With every option box ticked, even accessories, a GTI won’t crack $42,000. But the dealer is asking $47,787 for it, a price ironically called the “Love It Price.”

If we look at pricing for the more powerful sibling, the 2022 Golf R, it starts at $43,645 and can top out at $45,440 if you opt for the seven-speed DSG transmission. So, you can pay the same money for a less powerful car?

Unfortunately, if you’re shopping for a GTI, it looks as if a $3,000 to $5,000 markup on top of MSRP isn’t really uncommon, and might remain common for a while. Buyers looking to purchase a GTI may have no choice but to pay these prices, and I’m sure once the Golf R starts hitting dealers, they’ll go for Audi money.

Image for article titled If You See A Jeep Wrangler 4xe With A Missing Odometer, Probably Don't Buy It

 

Image: Stellantis The Jeep Wrangler 4xe plug-in crossbreed is a really innovative SUV– as for Jeeps go, anyhow. In spite of this, some examples when traveling appear to have an issue checking, because they’ve been recalled for odometers that freeze at exactly 13,342 miles and after that quit showing completely. Advertisement National Highway Traffic Safety Administration campaign # 21V949000 alerts that as several as 2,903 plug-in hybrid Wranglers– all version year 2021 and all made in between September 8, 2020 as well as September 13, 2021– might succumb to the problem. It stems from instrument panel cluster software that may have been preinstalled on more recent examples, or updated at a dealer for those constructed previously in the run. Supposedly the electronic odometer gets to 13,342 miles (21,473 kilometers)and after that the worth disappears.”A missing odometer analysis might bring about an unintentional delay in important safety-related maintenance, possibly harming the secure operation of the lorry and increasing the risk of a crash,” an NHTSA paper outdated December 14 reviews. It might additionally bring about a deceitful seller attempting to rip off a potential purchaser, though the report makes no mention of that. You would certainly have to be a pretty careless customer to be unable

 

to confirm mileage as well as strike past that warning, yet anything can occur. I suppose it’s far better than if the clock iced up at 13,342 miles but maintained showing, a minimum of. To fix this, Wrangler 4xe proprietors that have actually taken a trip less than 13,342 miles in their vehicles will certainly be called for a totally free control panel upgrade in late January. Those Wranglers that have greater than 13,342 miles– at which point

the odometer most likely won’t show at all– will immediately get complete collection substitutes. And anyone who has currently paid for such solution will certainly be repaid, as the record notes. The more brand-new software in autos, the more we’re mosting likely to maintain seeing odd points occur when that software goes awry.

A CGI render of the Nissan Mountain Base Camper

 

Nissan’s Mountain Base campervan concept is rugged and ready to go.

 

Graphic: Nissan

 

I love a good campervan. A well thought out van can be packed with creative space-saving features and the essentials for any off-grid adventure, all wrapped up in a sleek exterior. And now, Nissan has two new concepts that fit this brief down to a T.

Advertisement

Following the divisive office van concept it premiered at this year’s Tokyo Auto Salon show, Nissan will return to the event in 2022 with two new concepts. Next year, the firm will bring two campervan creations to the auto show, each based off its NV350 Caravan van.

Inside the Mountain Base camper concept there’s a digital fire.

The two camper concepts are very different, each seemingly drawing inspiration from opposing ends of the campervan spectrum.

First up, the Mountain Base concept packs in all the luxury trimmings you’d expect to find in a modern, futuristic hotel.

Inside, it’s all wood-paneling and shiny trimmings. The van packs in a slim work station, digital fireplace and a bench seat. There’s also a honeycomb-style cladding throughout the interior.

Outside the van that chic styling continues.

For the exterior, Nissan gave the van a great wood-paneled effect and decided to pair this with a mat black paint scheme. Additionally, the van comes equipped with a roof-mounted foldout solar panel, as well as more solar panels along the side.

But, if you don’t want to fill your camper with bling, then Nissan has another concept that might fit your needs better.

The Myroom would definitely be my pick of these two vans. It’s filled with minimalist design touches, neutral colors and everything you’d need for a weekend at the beach.

For this concept, Nissan fitted the van with a couch, sleeping area, and bookshelves and cupboards. That bed is fold out, according to Nissan, so can be stored away to free up space in the back for surfboards or bikes.

The van’s seaside aesthetic is all topped off with neutral colors and wood finishes. These colors are also matched on the outside of the van.

The Myroom van truly is the Scandi-style camper of my dreams, and I hope it one day finds its way into production.

Image for article titled The 2022 Mercedes-AMG SL: This Is It

Photo: Mercedes Two doors. A folding top. Odd, lengthened headlights. A red reveal color. I’m speaking about the brand-new Mercedes-AMG SL, yet you ‘d be forgiven for believing I implied the BMW Z4. Also if you saw them side by side, I wouldn’t criticize you for mixing them up– they just look that comparable. Advertisement The Mercedes SL-class dates back to the gullwing-doored 300 SL of the 1950s, originated from the short-lived W194 race auto. In the interfering decades, the SL has actually come to be softer, a lot more improved, and also a lot more useful as a day-to-day motorist. The current SL proceeds the trend in the direction of livability but intends to echo the efficiency charm that started the line a lot of years back. Photo: Mercedes Included livability can be found in the form of two

SL-class firsts:

common rear seats and also all-wheel-drive. The 2 +2 seats plan has actually been an on-again-off-again function on the SL, but the 2022 is the initial to make it obligatory– If you want a two-seater, purchase the AMG GT convertible. Unlike the rear seats, four-wheel drive is a true first for the 2022 SL.

The back axle is permanently mechanically connected and involves the front using a clutch system that allows for a variable torque split. Mercedes really did not supply difficult numbers on the optimum amount of power that can be sent to the front, but it did say the cars and truck can driven in rear-drive setting.

Built for the SRO TC America Series, the brand-new 11th generation 2022 Honda Civic Si includes a turbocharged engine and also a 6-speed manual transmission cribbed directly from the street auto. Established in part from HPD’s initiatives with the tenth-generation Civic Si TCA racer, the new auto is accumulated from a body-in-white for optimum performance from the first day. Structure from the ground up, rather than building from a finished manufacturing car, enables Honda to optimize for motorsport.

This both decreases weight and increases usefulness as a racer. Advertisement
