Finally the coupe is here!  We’ve maintained a long-time love affair with Volkswagen and this release really excites us.

As if the design mavens at Volkswagen Headquarters in Wolfsburg Germany have been sneaking into our rooms at night, monitoring our prayers and meditations, and suddenly deciding to act upon our wishes, Volkswagen released the New Compact Coupe Hybrid–a concept boasting itself as a fuel efficient four-seater sports coupe–at the 2010 Detroit Auto Show.  NCC Porn after the jump.

The NCC is quite attractive and and in the nicest way possible, resembles a poor mans Audi, which, we must add, won’t stop us or anyone else from remortgaging the house to get one.

This slice of devious VW pie unmistakably takes it’s design cues from it’s older brother, the CC, and it’s first cousin, the Audi A5.

This makes the NCC feel rooted in elegance, premium luxury, and high efficiency but at a price that allows you to have your cake and eat it too.

Volkswagen is committed to investigating new fuel alternatives and arriving at new methods that combine sizzling performance with outstanding fuel economy and the NCC is happily a large step in that direction.

We have to add that we were a bit surprised that when given the opportunity to showcase a hybrid, Volkswagen chose to go with petrol over their much championed diesel.  Perhaps there is good reason that we are simply too gay to understand.

The German automaker has remained loyal to the hatchback and there has not been a true 2-door boot and bonnet Vee Dub coupe for generations and generations.  Golfs and GTIs are wonderful cars and represent properly done hatchbacks but we’ve always had a warm spot for handsomely equipped coupes and had dreamed of one day owning one with the shiny chrome-laden letters V and W suctioned to every accepting surface.

So we’d be lying if we said we didn’t jump up and down and kick our feet with enthusiasm like a horny girlfriend who just received word her well-hung man was being let out a month early for good behavior.

Noteworthy is the amazing drivetrain which combines seven-speed, dual-clutch auto-manual DSG transmission powered by a 148hp, 1.4-litre TSI petrol engine and a 27hp electric motor powered by a 1.1kWh lithium-ion battery.  Now despite their appearance, these numbers do not represent someone’s fake stats from a Craigslist ad in the M4M section, but rather define this auto’s performance and gives this intrinsically sexy coupe a top speed of 141mph with 0-62mph acceleration in just over 8 seconds and a combined fuel consumption of 67.2mpg with CO2 emissions of 98g/km.

That means it’s a bloody fast and highly fuel efficient means of brilliant transport for you who are sweet, gay, and car-illiterate.

Also surrounding itself in a lot of brouhaha is the fact that the NCC is a remarkably faithful preview of what the forthcoming and soon to be produced 2011 6th generation Volkswagen Jetta will look like.

Volkswagen–who according to figures published by automotive industry analysts Global Insight in November 2009, is the largest automobile maker in the world by vehicle production–has been very secretive about the new Jetta but we’re sure it’ll be stellar.

We’re hopeful that Volkswagen will produce the NCC along with the new 6th generation Jetta this Spring because we, along with the rest of the gay boys, will have our dolla billz and our coinz in hand and will be lined up outside the nearest dealership to get one.

Tesla Motors, the Silicon Valley automobile startup company focused on producing high-performance, consumer-oriented, battery electric vehicles is coming to Washington DC.

No one ever said eco needed to equal slow and ugly.  Tesla understood this and made the iPhone of cars which should mean a lot to the gay community of geeks with gadgets.  These cars are not only sexy and fast but are also deeply environmental.  They accomplish their “green” by running completely on battery electric power making your lesbian fake best friend’s new darling Prius look like a native slug bug from Avatar’s planet Pandora.

These cars have been on sale for a while but the closet store for the DC resident was in New York City.

Now the rich and the the gay can get their hands on one of these dick-magnets without having to leave their postal code.

The exact location of the Apple-like showroom has not yet been announced but you can expect it around F Street NW near the Verizon Center.  The DC Tesla Store was slated to open in Fall 2009 but now looks like it will open some time in late January or even early February.

We are excited for Tesla Motors to move in to The District and show use what else batteries can be used for!
