German Beaters Colonize The Streets Of Berkeley, France Considers Emergency Citroën Airlift [Down On The Street Bonus Edition]

This is Down On The Street Bonus Edition, where we check out interesting street-parked cars located in places other than the Island That Rust Forgot. In addition to being a four time DOTS honoree and Volvo race driver, WhatWouldJesseDo is also a devoted DOTSBE hunter. This time his travels have taken him to Berkeley (which may rival nearby Alameda in terms of Cool Old Cars Per Square Mile, People's Republic or not), where he's found three vintage German chariots parked in the same neighborhood. Apparently that wretched-looking 356 is an everyday commuter and logs hundreds of miles each week. Jump away for many photos.

If automaker-produced kitesurfer-in-distress videos are your thing, VW's got your back. While you wait for the production version of the Concept Pickup the automaker unveiled back in September, how about checking out VW's promo film starring the truck, a pair of lifeguards, and yes, a kitesurfer in distress. Will the guys use the in-dash GPS? Yes! Will we see the pickup drive semi-urgently through sand? Yes! Will she make it? Duh! Will we have a demonstration of how well a collapsed kite fits in the bed? Yes again! Am I alone in thinking it's weird that the lifeguards dive into the water wearing helmets? Anyone? In all, a serviceable vanity film for the pickup. Needs more yellow, though. And Hoff. The video's embedded after the jump.

2010 VW Golf Version 6: World Car Of The Year

We’d like you to direct your attention to front and center and see the World Car of the Year for 2009 - the VW Golf (or Rabbit), according the New York International Auto Show. This car debuted at the Paris Auto Show last year and the sixth version of Volkswagen’s go-fast compact has earned plenty of praises over the years, including this one from New York. What’s not to love about this car anyway? It has a sporty look, not too brash nor too loud. It’s compact, and it’s got no less than six engine variations to choose from. US buyers have the choice between two power plants: a 2.5 liter inline 5 with 157 horsepower and a 2.0 liter turbocharged I-4 diesel. Right now, relax and enjoy the sight of a big winner. $16,000+.
