Last weekend was the Chicago Volkswagen Organizations 15th annual Midwest Treffen. Treffen is one of the largest meetings of VW and Audi enthusiasts in the Midwest. The parking lot at the Oakton Community College was packed, as usual, with VWs and Audis. This year seemed especially light on early Volkswagens and Audis (in general). I think time and brand definition is beginning to split up “the scene.”
The turnout was good, but mkIV chassis VWs still seem to steal the show. It might still be a while until the newer models come into their own. This imola yellow 20th Anniversary GTI really caught my eye. The B5 Audi S4 is still a darling of car shows though. These two S4s looked especially sharp. My favorite Audi of the day was probably this Silver Audi A4 though. Those cars are nice, but if cars like this VW GLI are any indication, the newer models are going to be looking pretty good in the coming years.
