The MK8 GTI has been out globally for quite some time and we’ve had our Pomelo Yellow Launch Edition GTI for several months. In that time, we’ve come to know the car fairly intimately in our quest to develop everything cool we can think of to improve the MK8. Naturally, these improvements are largely carryovers [...]
Ah, spring has finally sprung. The flowers are blooming, the salt from winter has mostly washed away, and the sound of motorcycle and modified car exhausts are returning to the air. Nature sure is beautiful. Fortunately for you, we’re in an extremely pleasant mood with all these days above 60 degrees kicking in. This week, [...]
