  Excitement is building for the New 2022 Volkswagen Taos.   According to Motor Trend , the Taos has earned Best-In-Class Highway MPG.   It’s the newest small SUV on the market in the US and with an average of 36 mpg on the highway, it’s the most fuel-efficient cruiser you can buy. The Taos has a base MSRP of $22,995 and is equipped with a turbocharged 1.5 liter four-cylinder engine and if desired can be equipped with all-wheel drive. It’s surprisingly roomy with 28 cubic feet of space behind the rear seatbacks and 66 cubic feet with them folded flat.   The interior takes it’s styling from both the Tiguan and Atlas.   The base model Taos includes a lot of standard driver assists features in addition to the popular “digital cockpit”.   Drivers can certainly upgrade to models with leather interior, customizable ambient cabin lighting, a panoramic sunroof and more. Come experience the new Taos. It’s small, versatile and ready for the road!

You may have noticed around town (state and nationally as well), new and used car inventory is getting very slim.   Inventory levels in the automotive industry are squeezed very tight right now all because of a global micro-chip shortage. Yes, it’s hard to believe that we can build thousands of vehicles and one little, tiny micro-chip keeps them from being completed and shipped to the dealer - but that’s what’s happening.   Volkswagen did anticipate this micro-chip shortage and switched their already produced chips over to the more popular selling vehicles for production.   Translation:   We here at Hewlett Volkswagen are still getting shipments of the “good stuff”.    In fact, our shipments vs. sales last month were almost 1 to 1 so hopefully we’ll remain in good shape. The Volkswagen ID.4 EV is arriving daily and selling as fast as they come in.   We were given an additional allocation of “unsold” ID.4 EV’s so if you weren’t able to order one, now’s your chance.
