Volkswagen aims to renew its green credentials with new hybrid

Abar in West Cork might seem a strange place to begin a review of an interesting new hybrid from one of the world’s biggest car manufacturers, but that’s how it goes sometimes.

Earlier this week, I wandered into O’Sullivan’s of Crookhaven and the highlights of the night’s Champions League quarter-final matches were being shown on the television.

A small but interested crowd, including a middle-aged German man, were on hand to watch to watch the best bits from the game between Real Madrid and Wolfsburg and to see if the Spanish giants could overturn a two-goal deficit from the first leg at the Volkswagen Arena the previous week and book a spot in the semi-finals.
