Purpose

I will try my best to provide detailed info on various cars and what is like to live with them, I have already produced a few for Jaguar-car-forums, I will do my best to be unbiased, but it will be hard for some cars. I will re-produce press releases and copy from other motoring news.

USA SALES JANUARY - Volkswagen continues to be hit with dropping sales due, in whole, to the diesel scandal.

-January sales totaled 20,079 units-
  • Tiguan delivered 2,528  units, a 71.6 percent increase,  marking the best January ever for the vehicle
  • The Golf R delivered 477 vehicles, marking the best January on record
  • The e-Golf delivered 328 vehicles, the best January ever for the vehicle
Volkswagen of America, Inc. (VWoA) today reported sales of 20,079 units delivered in January 2016.  The Tiguan produced the best January results on record for the vehicle with 2,528 vehicles delivered, a 71.6 percent increase. 

“We are encouraged by the strong performance of the Tiguan,” said Mark McNabb, chief operating officer, Volkswagen of America. “January sales numbers were down due to the seasonal nature of the fleet business. Despite that and the weather conditions in the Northeast portion of the country, Volkswagen dealers improved in terms of retail business.”
This month also marked the best January ever for the Golf R with 477 vehicles delivered. The e-Golf also had its best January ever with 328 vehicles delivered, an 81.2 percent increase versus last year. At the recent CES 2016, Volkswagen presented the e-Golf Touch which featured a gesture control system and showed technologies that are close to production.
