Volkswagen is positively awash with news of new models. Delicious Arteon saloon, and the drop-dead-gorgeous Arteon Shooting Brake sister, will be making an appearance sooner than you can say, “ooo ahhh that’s dead posh, that is.”

Though it took an absolute age, Volkswagen’s ample lineup now has an SUV for every taste. If you count the “pov and posh” VW brands, there an even more cornucopic choice. Skoda, Audi, and Porsche have tasty treats secreted away in the SUV garages. That means the German car maker not only has every taste catered for, but every wallet too.

We’ve got T-Cross, T-Roc, Tiguan, Tiguan Allspace and Touareg, with their spiced-up R models on the way. To chilli up your day even more, Volkswagen bosses chatting over gluhwein and freshly fried knackwurst, about the utterly phaaaaabulous Touareg R. If that doesn’t have your loins suitably girded, you’re obviously a bit dead.

Then we move to the vexed question of electric vehicles. And here is where it all horribly goes tits up.

The glaikits in Canberra have climate change policy that have most of us making a face like an arse chewing a wasp. Instead of sucking up to fossil-fuel-owning donors like the fetid LNP cabal, European countries slap you with fines the size of the GDP of a small island, for poisoning the planet.

Oddly, NSW and Tasmania have opted for slightly more progressive policy, while Victoria looked to the 50’s for its anti-EV stance. They’ve decided to bung a tax on electric cars, in a world’s worst practice decision. What all this means is that VeeDub will give Europe first dibs, bugger Australia.

As if all this palaver wasn’t infuriating enough, rampant greed means that oil producers haven’t upgraded Australian refineries since the Endeavour sailed into Botany Bay. It’s also why most Euro cars can only take the expensive imported juice. The local Australian oil company execs, AKA Liberal MPs, have slapped refiners with limp lettuce leaves in the hopes that vast sums will be spent on their stranded assets.

Fat chance.

Meanwhile, Australia will continue to be a dumping ground for rubbish that can’t be sold anywhere else. We are an absolute joke

Meanwhile, Volkswagen has signed a memorandum of understanding with bucolically focussed  Linga network, but is has as yet yielded no fruit.

Carmakers want policy that isn’t from the 19th century, so we’ll be waiting a while.
