Wyoming Valley Motors Volkswagen

We're all familiar with the concept of a flying car. For years now, filmmakers have played on our interest in fantasy by dreaming up futuristic autos and taking them to the big screen. But what if Volkswagen were to create its own airborne auto and actually take it to the streets of Larksville and beyond?

As far-fetched as this idea might sound, Wyoming Valley Motors Volkswagen has reason to believe a hovering VW vehicle isn't all that impossible to conceive. In fact, Volkswagen just shared its idea for a zero-emissions "Hover Car" that would seat two passengers and operate by following along electromagnetic roads. Born out of the Volkswagen People's Car Project, a program that seeks to solve mobility issues by coming up with creative concepts, the Hover Car is meant to provide clean transportation throughout congested city areas in China.

Of course, the spherical, hovering auto is also meant to inspire creativity and cultivate a bit of industry buzz as well. Described by experts as, "an amalgam of Marty McFly's fusion-powered DeLorean and George Jetson's bubble-top flying car,"¹ the Hover Car is truly worth day-dreaming over.

At this point in time, Wyoming Valley Motors Volkswagen can't tell whether or not the innovative Volkswagen vehicle idea will find its grounding as a real-life model. Regardless, we're encouraged to know that VW is not only expanding its current lineup of new Volkswagen autos, but conceptualizing mobility solutions for the future. To stay up-to-date with all the latest industry news, be sure to follow our Volkswagen blog or talk to us in person at Route 11 Larksville PA, 18704.

Let us just start by saying that the 2012 Volkswagen Jetta is a 2012 IIHS Top Safety Pick, which should make any family car shopper pretty happy.

When you come to Wyoming Valley Motors Volkswagen, you'll find not only a wide range of new Volkswagen models to choose from, but a full-fledged Volkswagen service department too.

VW is introducing a car smaller than The Volkswagen Beetle, inspired by urban living. It's called Volkswagen Up! - complete with exclamation point.

Four variants - Swiss Up!, Winter Up!, X Up! Cargo Up! - were present at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, prior to release in Europe. Speculation that they would come to Wyoming Valley Motors Volkswagen in Larksville, PA one day still loomed in the air.

Even we here at Wyoming Valley Motors Volkswagen will admit that Volkswagen doesn't have the longest track record when it comes to hybrid models. The German automaker's first hybrid, the Volkswagen Touareg Hybrid has been a success, but hasn't inspired any new hybrid models... Until now, that is.

Recently, Volkswagen showed off a hybrid variant of the Jetta at the 2012 North American International Auto Show. And even more recently, they allowed a group of journalists to take the vehicle for a spin in Wolfsburg, Germany. The consensus? This is one fun-to-drive hybrid!

Specifically, journalists praised the…

Whoever the genius is who thought to combine dogs and Star Wars was deserves a medal. They are, after all, responsible for a new teaser that's circling the web for the new Volkswagen Super Bowl commercial. The video, officially dubbed "The Bark Side," features a chorus of eleven dogs howling out the "Imperial March" that often denotes Darth Vader's entrance.

What exactly does this have to do with cars, let alone Volkswagen? The video is really more of a follow up to the success that was last year's Super Bowl ad. The German automaker's previous entry…

The National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration (NHTSA) released more 2012 model-year safety ratings at the close of December. Among the cars featured in this most recent batch is the Volkswagen Passat. Even with the NHTSA's more stringent guidelines, the Passat proved so resilient in front, rollover, and combined side-pole and barrier tests that it earned a perfect five-star composite score.

You might recognize the side-poll criteria as new to the NHTSA suite of crash tests. Ultimately, it's designed to simulate a car, SUV or truck colliding with a tree, or perhaps a telephone pole, at no more…
