This imagined silver disk-shaped car is a two-seater with a joystick for maneuverability. The fact that it has no wheels allows the idea car to move easily in all directions including spinning on its own axis. Best of all, the Hover Car does not use fuel and produces no emissions! Remember, this car is NOT REAL. It is an idea! But the concept video is so convincing some people believe the car is operational today. Take a look at the full video here. (The video is in Chinese but the visual is pretty fun).

If the VW Hover Car were real, would you want one? How would you change it? In the meantime, why not check out the actual new cars available at Strong Volkswagen!

Strong Volkswagen Features the 2012 Passat

Named the 2012 Motor Trend Care of the Year, the Volkswagen Passat offers features that make drivers and passengers alike loyal fans of this Chattanooga, Tennessee produced vehicle.  Not only did the Passat win the coveted Motor Trend Award, but it also is an IIHS Top Safety Pick award winner with six airbags, tire pressure monitoring, electronic stability and anti-lock brakes.

The Passet has more rear passenger leg room than other cars in its class, standard Bluetooth® technology, automatic dual-zone climate control, and an optional Fender premium audio system.  It is not wonder that Passat U.S. sales in 2011 increased by 124% over 2010 and helped Volkswagen of American have its best sales hear in nine years. And the momentum is continuing into 2012 with January sales up 48% over January 2011.

Volkswagen has taken its leading design and technology expertise and used it to build its highly energy efficient Chattanooga production plant, recently acknowledged as the first auto plant to receive the top environmental award from the U.S. Green Building Council. Not only does the plant same 50 million gallons of water over 10 years, using power from a local hydroelectric dam combined with insulation of its walls, the plant will save 720,000 kilowatts on power per year. The 2012 Passat was also a finalist for the 2012 Green Car of the Year Award.

Volkswagen is one of the top 10 employers in Chattanooga providing new jobs as they increase production of the Passat in 2012. They are also a major investor in economic development in the region.

Volkswagen: Showing off at the Detroit Auto Show

The Detroit Auto Show just wrapped up last week and Volkswagen was there. In addition to the new 2012 Beetle, two Beetle concept cars were displayed, the E-Bugster and the Fender Beetle.  Also on display was a hybrid version of the Jetta compact sedan. The E-Bugster and Jetta are highly fuel efficient vehicles, demonstrating Volkswagen’s response for the growing demand for low fuel consumption cars.

The E-Bugster is an all-electric, lithium ion battery run Beetle that is free of emissions. A two-seater with larger wheels than the 2012 Beetle, this car has can move at 114 Horsepower for up to 100 miles!

The hybrid Jetta will go on sale later in 2012 with a turbocharged gasoline engine and electric motor, said to use 20% less fuel.  The new Jetta will get about 45 miles per gallon with plenty of power, going from zero to 60 mph in just over 8 seconds. In Detroit, Volkswagen once again demonstrated the cutting-edge engineering and design technology that propelled them to one of the leading automobile brands in the world. Strong Volkswagen looks forward to offer the new Jetta later this year.

Your New Volkswagen and Carefree Maintenance

If you are considering the purchase of a new Volkswagen vehicle, you should know about a huge advantage that comes along with your high performance, attractive, and comfortable VW car.  New Volkswagen owners know it and you should too. The Carefree Maintenance Program takes the worry and hassle out of owning a new Volkswagen because all regularly scheduled maintenance services are provided at no charge by Strong Volkswagen during the first 3 years or 36,000 miles*.

Not only that, but Strong VW is available to help you become familiar with all of your new car’s features. Simply bring your car in for your Courtesy Vehicle Check during the first 90 days or 6,000 miles, whichever comes first, and we’ll be happy to answer any questions and go over your new features with you one by one.

But wait, the good news doesn’t stop there! Another benefit of owning a Volkswagen is that the times between regular maintenance services are fewer and farther apart because VW care use synthetic oil which allows you to drive farther between oil changes (except for the Routan).  Add all these maintenance premiums together with the pure joy of driving a new Volkswagen vehicle along with the time and money you will save and you have very happy customers.
