(November 4, 2013) I must admit: Cincinnati is rarely on my mind. Even during the 15 or so years I lived 100 miles down the road in Louisville, I didn't give much pause to Cincy. For the four – could have very easily turned into five – years I attended Wittenberg University in Springfield, Ohio, I passed through the Queen City on my way back and forth for breaks and summer vacations.

(November 3, 2013) The idea was simple: Borrow a Passat TDI from the folks at Volkswagen, and see just how far you can reasonably expect go on a single tank of gas. Aware that this trip meant driving from the suburbs of Detroit to Clifton, Va. — not far from VW’s U.S. headquarters in Reston, Va. — it shook loose a top of the line, Tungsten Silver SEL-level model. Yes, we’d be traveling in comfort, but it would be a car that was not the lightest in the Passat TDI lineup.

(November 2, 2013) The Detroit 3 led all automakers in what proved to be a good sales month in October. Asian and European automakers also showed gains compared to October 2012 with one exception — Volkswagen declined 9 percent and is now down 2 percent for the first 10 months of the year.
