Volkswagen’s 2025 Golf GTI made a brief appearance at CES in Las Vegas last month, but its true debut happened shortly after in Europe. Although the US version has yet to be seen, a disguised prototype made its way to the F.A.T. Ice Race Aspen in Colorado. Unfortunately, it has been confirmed that the six-speed manual gearbox will no longer be an option after the 2024 model year. Volkswagen of America Product Communications Specialist Jerohn Anderson has stated, “I can confirm that the manual transmission will not be available for the Golf GTI and Golf R after MY2024.”

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
