For a car that looks pretty much like a lowly Golf, VW's all-wheel-drive, V6-powered R32 is an elegant and amazingly sophisticated car. In Europe they're already moving on to version two.

On a makeshift dragstrip cut from the straightest, flattest stretch of Buttonwillow Raceway, the VW R32 launches in a cloud of blue smoke as the overwhelming power makes a mockery of the all-wheel-drive system and the normally sticky Toyo Proxes T1-S tires.

As we roll down a heavily trafficked boulevard in Cam Waugh's VW Golf, people twist their faces in disbelief and incomprehension, like they just saw Giselle rip a fart. The face just doesn't match the windpipes. Cam's gorgeous four-door 1991 Mark II Golf, you see, belches combustion through 16 exhau

You just won the lottery and it's time to finally buy that 30-car climate-controlled garage with the one-bedroom apartment attached.

Within the first 10 yards, it's clear the R32 is a very different creature from any other Golf. There's immediacy to its responses and a level of grip that's new. Around town, the floating sloppiness that characterizes the standard hatchback has given place to a taut, controlled ride quality that, a

VW's GTI is a darn nice car. It's got a terrific stereo, gorgeous interior and more luxury amenities than a Lincoln Town Car. In other words, the original hot hatch has lost touch with its roots. Remember when fun to drive meant back-to-basics control feel, a

A solid handler, the 2001 GTI 1.8T lets its hair down on the straights, thanks to a 150-hp engine that spits out 155 lb-ft of torque. With relatively no turbo lag, the 1.8T rockets to its destination like a team of stallions. Shifts are precise and the steerin

Too often, project cars look like they were magnetized and driven through Pep Boys. This isn't the case with this red Jetta IV from New Dimensions, however.
