GTI_Boi Posted August 2, 2008 Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 The Volkswagen Group is now the world's third-largest car-maker, having overtaken Ford. Figures for sales for the first sixth months of 2008 have just been released: Toyota is in the top spot, having sold 4.82 million cars in this period, with long-time leader General Motors trailing behind with 4.54 million. Volkswagen - including the Audi, Seat and Skoda brands - sold 3.31 million, a 7.2% increase, while Ford sales fell by 11% to 3.09 million. Ford's sales total has been reduced by the sell-off of the Jaguar and Land Rover brands, as well as the decline in demand for its big trucks and SUVs in North America. GM has also suffered from the changes to the market, but has retained its lead in the United States despite an 18.2% fall in American sales.

Snoopy Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 The thing is how long will it last. I agree with Automodial this week VW group brands are making too many cars that are too similar. They need to sort what segment each brand is going for. They compete against themselfs. Somethings going to give.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
