2012 Volkswagen Beetle Turbo It doesn’t take much time behind the wheel to appreciate VW’s spunky 2.0-liter turbo four. I didn’t spend much time in the Beetle Turbo but it doesn’t take much time behind the wheel to appreciate VW’s spunky 2.0-liter turbo four.

Not often, mind you, and not cheaply. But every once in a while, one of those glitzy concepts you see on a show stand comes up for sale.

Filed under: Sedan , Technology , Videos , Chrysler , Dodge The 2013 Dodge Dart is Chrysler’s first serious attempt at a compact sedan since the Neon , and Team Pentastar appears to be going all out. We were especially interested in getting a first-hand look at the automaker’s new infotainment system, and its interesting take on a next-generation instrument panel. The gauge cluster is powered by a seven-inch Thin Film Transistor (TFT) display that enables the driver to customize the interface to his or her desire, and appears to be simple and intuitive to operate. Dodge Communications representative Kathy Graham was nice enough to give us a quick walkthrough of the cutting-age tech, and we have the video to prove it.
