Kelley Blue Book named the 2010 Golf as one of its Top 10 Family Cars in late February. In the annual appraisal, editors of kbb.com recommend what they see as the very best family cars for each year, highlighting the qualifying features and detailing why each is a contender.

In regards to the Golf Kelley Blue Book cited the starting price, the hatchback versatility, the European driving style and the interior that rivals many of the pricier cars. They felt the Golf answered all of the needs of a family, and also threw in some exhilaration and fun.

Editors look over hundreds of entries, analyzing for the aspects that make a good family car- safety, comfort, economy of operation, child-friendliness, reasonable price and good resale value are just to name a few. They believe the Gold is able to provide all of this, plus provide excellent service and a trouble-free ownership for years to come.

The Golf is available in a 2- or 4-door variant, depending on the size of your family. Proven German engineering and performance, coupled with refinement and a great entry level price all lead to a car that isn’t just great for families, but fun to drive, as well.

Geneva has been kicking out some great news. This time, it is VW’s debut of the all-new Bulli, known as the MicroBus by us Yankees. Born 60 years ago, the VW Microbus took a simple design and made it iconic, just like they did with the Beetle. To this day, people cherish their Microbuses world-wide, so it is exciting news that they are reviving it again (the Microbus saw a single-year rebirth in 2001) and this time they are doing it green. Europe gets it first. There is no release date posted yet for the states.

Though it will be available with a 1.0 liter or 1.4 liter 4-cylinder gas engine, the interesting news here is that it is also available as a EV with a 85 kw motor that produces a remarkable 199 lb-ft of torque. VW claims this allows the Bulli to hit 62 mph in 11.5 seconds and travel at a range of up to 186 miles on a single charge.

There are definite design cues taken from the Microbus, but this time around the Bulli features an edgier design and sharply-creased character lines. The boxy shape also lends to a sense of spaciousness within its compact dimensions. It is 66 inches tall, 68 inches wide and is 156 inches long. The design is further complimented by a modern take on a classic concept – a two-tone paint job.

Front and rear benches provide a comfortable ride for up to six passengers. Though boasting a retro design inside and out, the Bulli is truly state-of-the-art, one look at the Apple iPad mounted in the center console can tell you that. The iPad is designed to serve as a multi-functional touch-screen for vehicle controls. That’s right – it integrates fully with the Bulli’s controls, allowing for entertainment, navigation and hands-free, Blue-tooth connectivity.

VW has reintroduced the Microbus a total of 3 times – once with the 2001 concept, once with the Up! concept, and now with this. Road and Track suggests this is not a “sure thing”, but the German sites we have visited are giving it a release date of 2014. We bet it is going to happen, and something we’d love to see on the South Florida streets.

The Geneva Motor Show was the stage for the new Tiguan’s debut, with VW showing off the technically and visually enhanced all-new Tiguan. The Tiguan is also boasting a European tuned suspension for precise handling, without sacrificing a smooth and comfortable ride. Significant improvements have been made to the fuel efficiency, the interior and they added new color options. It is planned for a release this fall.

The 2012 Tiguan design stands out nicely, with the Volkswagen family design gracing the grill, giving it a modern and sleek look. LED daytime running lights are now available with Bi-Xenons and AFS (advanced headlight system) on SEL models and above. Chrome accentuation abounds, yielding a bolder, more polished look. The taillights have been redesigned, too, with the VW-centric “double L” pattern seen on other, recent VW redesigns.

Inside, all three Tiguan trims get enhancements, with high quality cloth seating in the S, V-Tex leatherette for the SE and the SEL gets leather seating with driver memory in either black or beige.
Efficiency-wise, we don’t have any official numbers, yet, but the 2012 Tiguan is expected to be in the range of 25-29 highway mpg with the award-winning 2.0-liter TSI engine with turbo-charged acceleration.

Great news for South Florida! The Tiguan is one of the best-looking compact SUVs on the road today, and it looks like next year’s model will be even more exciting.

The Pink Floyd Experience is here. This extreme cover band has been plying its specialty since 1997, dishing out perhaps the most authentic homage to one of the most unique rock and roll bands to take the stage – Pink Floyd. The sounds and vocals of Pink Floyd are not the easiest to master, but a decade of dedication and paid shows prove these boys have what it takes.

They will be performing live at the Parker Playhouse on February 17th, along with their band’s mascot – a massive, floating pig that hovers over the audience – a 3 dimensional, flying tribute to the cover of Pink Floyd’s Animals album.

“It’s the only pig that I know that navigates and flies, “says band leader Tom Quinn, 55. “We’re on our second pig now. The last one died when the stitching broke down and it lost helium.”

To back up their airborne pork chop and their eerily familiar sounds, 200,000 watts of light and quadraphonic sound await the audience. It sounds like a hoot. If you never had a chance to catch the real band on stage, this might be the chance to at least satisfy yourself with a very earnest simulacrum of one of the most popular rock legends of all time.
