Updates
Volkswagen of America is bring out the all new MKVI GTI and Golf to Treffen! Also coming to the show are the Gold Coast CC, Eco CC, SEMA Tiguan, and TDI Cup Jetta Street Edition.
New Classes & Enthusiast/Club Parking
We're trying something different this year for Treffen. In addition to the traditional show car area, we're going to create a "clubs & enthusiasts" parking area for those who don't want to show, but still want to come and hang out (and park) with their buddies. We'll still do some prizes and stuff for this area and are open to ideas and suggestions. Post them up here.
We also wanted to minimize the ballot counting time while still keeping the show true to its roots of being participant judged. This means fewer, broader classes. We know we can never please everybody, but we feel that this strikes a happy medium between too few classes and too many hours lost to counting too many classes.
So here they are:
- A1 - Golf/Jetta/Caddy/Cabriolet/Scirocco I & II
- A2 - Golf/Jetta/Corrado
- A3 - Golf/Jetta/Cabrio
- A4 - Golf/Jetta/Cabrio (MK4 Facelift)
- A5 - Rabbit/Jetta/EOS
- VW B Platform - Dasher, Quantum, Passat & CC
- Other VW - Routan, Touareg, Tiguan, Fox, Phaeton, EuroVan, Aircooled, New Beetle
- Early Audi A4/S4/RS4 (up to 2002)
- Late Audi A4/S4/RS4 (2002 and newer)
- Other Audi - Audi A3, A5, A6, A8, TT, Coupe, 4000, 5000, 80, 90, 100, 200, etc
- Best in Show
