The United States is key to Volkswagen’s planned expansion in the coming decade, as the German automaker attempts to rival Toyota by selling one million units in the U.S. per year by 2018. Via autoblog.com









I’m confused. When I bought my new Jetta a few months ago, the salesguy told me that the Passat had gone up a few tiers, and the new Jetta was essentially the old Passat. This article is now saying that the Jetta’s going down a tier, and the Passat is doing the same. Does VW not have a market research department or something?
You hit it exactly Jordan. Who knows if VW has a market research dept. You’d think by the decisions being made that they don’t. Either that or it comprised of chimps. Take your pick. lol
