Here at Tom Wood Volkswagen, we want to give Greenwood, IN customers the fairest offer possible for their used automobiles because we understand how important that trade-in money is when it comes to nailing down a monthly payment for a new Volkswagen Passat or Volkswagen Golf. Frankly, there is no easier way to sell your old vehicle than to bring it in for trade the day you buy a new one. No other option is…

When the IIHS introduced even tougher tests, automakers like VW responded by developing even more intelligent…

Here at Tom Wood Volkswagen, we've been waiting quite a while for the L.A. Auto show, mostly because we've known that VW would have something fun up its sleeve for tech-hungry California patrons, and based on the returns it certainly looks as if our patience has paid off. VW debuted the Volkswagen Passat GT concept vehicle at this year's exhibition, and while we don't yet know whether it will find…

Everybody knows that the old VW Microbus was one of the most successful models ever manufactured by the German automaker, and as such there have been several concept vehicles over the years that have been designed with sights set on rejuvenating the popular little people-pusher. It all culminated earlier this year when Volkswagen debuted the BUDD-e concept at auto shows. As an attractive and practical modernized version of the VW Microbus, it turned plenty of…

Last month we passed on that Volkswagen had decided to call its new seven-passenger SUV the VW Atlas, a name that obviously makes a lot of sense for a number of reasons, not the least of which is that an atlas is the name for a book of maps.

Equipped in the VW cars produced over the last few years, the App Connect infotainment system has streamlined access to entertainment and technology features for drivers, and updates for the new 2017 Volkswagen models that include Android Auto make it even easier to stay connected by providing hands-free access to select mobile apps.

Using it is pretty simple. Any Android phone using an appropriately updated operating system can link up to the vehicle via USB…

For those that were unaware, Volkswagen has quietly been putting together a new mid-sized crossover set to be released sometime in 2017. Thanks to a bit of sleuthing by the German-language affiliate of Automotive News, Automobilwoche, we now know that the new VW SUV will go by the name of "Atlas."

That breaks the trend of Volkswagen having named their other SUVs with monikers that start with the letter "T" like the  2017 Volkswagen Touareg…

Late last month, Volkswagen did something bold in revealing the new Volkswagen I.D. concept vehicle at the Paris Auto Show, giving Indianapolis Volkswagen fans an interesting sneak peek into what really could be the future of the brand. While we continue to enjoy selling the models that we currently carry here at Tom Wood VW, we also can't help but get excited when something new and revolutionary finds its way into the stable…

It certainly does seem like the name of the game for Volkswagen these days is "electric." In our last post we detailed how much work Volkswagen has put into establishing a series of fast-charging electric vehicle stations up and down the country's two major coasts, but that's not the only way VW is trying to gain a stranglehold on the next generation of electric automobiles.

We know, for example, that the automaker has…
