Cellphone pics only - didn't want to inconvenience the Mrs. and the child while I try to take designer shots. Needless to say, the dealer did a nice job of cleaning the car (they hand-washed it after I asked them to not auto-wash) and shining up the tires. I've seen OB CTS's before, but IMHO I really made the right call going with the painted wheels and red calipers; even though the latest fad is blacked out everything. Defintely says "V" to me, and of course the titanium interior was made for this color.

I will try to take some better shots later on in the week for posterity. :D

Aw come on the black diamond looks better :), I keep trying to tell myself this!~ I had a Opulent blue on order, but it was taking way too long and let her go, oh well at least I've gotta Opulent blue VW now, haha.
Tomorrow she will have a red pinstripe and red calipers soon too, plus better sound system than the V and more comfortable :) Oh did I mention 50 MPG outta the TDI. I still love my Vagen though.

Yeah yeah yeah - you win, because I totally bought the Vagon for the factory sound system! :D

Doesn't the VW come with something like 170HP? So are your mods akin to... ahem... putting lipstick on a proverbial pig?

<zing!>

I keed, I keed! :D

I saw two TDI wagons yesterday, and I was surprised at how dimensionally big they looked overall. Still decent looking for a wagon, but bigger than I would have expected.

It was a welcome change - what good is the internet if you can't give a perfectly anonymous stranger a hard time? I posted over on the Corvette forum to tease all the hardcore Z06 guys about my solid exhaust valve "conversion" (ie the V); and of course you get the expected "but it's not a Z06!" responses where people have to defend their own choices and preferences.

I might as well post over on the Mustang forum and expect them to tell me how much better my car is than the GT500?

It's all in good fun - don't take the internet too seriously, or Al Gore will win.

OK, back to the OBM V wagon love.

I love that color. I dream in that color. Nice choice and congratulations! You will get lots of "nice car" comments. I do.

Traded my 2010 TDI wagon in for my 2013 Vagon. Nice car overall, but average MPG was 34, and I had a 6-speed manual. The High Pressure Fuel pump has a failure rate that the NHSC has an investigation on currently. The warranty on the fuel pump through VW is 60k and the cost of repair if it fails is over $8k. I traded mine in at 55k miles. Just do a search on VW TDI HPFP for more info. Some pumps fail on new cars. Make sure you don't use truck stop diesel
