Volkswagen Wins ‘Best Car Manufacturer’ Award

Volkswagen has been named ‘Best Car Manufacturer’ at the prestigious Which? Awards 2015.  The trophy was presented yesterday in London, at a ceremony which recognised and celebrated businesses that deliver excellent products and services across a wide range of sectors from cars to retailers and banks to home appliances.  Which? is the largest independent consumer organisation in Europe.

Volkswagen was shortlisted for the award earlier this year, and emerged as the ‘stand-out choice’ according to Which? in the final judging.  The organisation commented: ‘All the cars from Volkswagen tested over the years are class-leaders.  We have tested three new cars over the past year and all were Best Buys.’  Which? continued: ‘Volkswagen is a popular brand with owners, scoring well for customer satisfaction in our annual survey.’

Peter Vicary-Smith, Which? Group Chief Executive, added: ‘A Which? Award is our way of recognising the businesses that share our ideals and offer products and services that improve their customers’ lives.  Good businesses can truly be consumer champions.  By treating customers fairly, businesses will be rewarded for their efforts with more confident consumers helping to drive growth in the economy.’

Volkswagen offers one of the widest ranges of cars in the UK, from the up! city car through the ever-popular Polo, Golf and Passat line-ups to luxury 4x4s, as well as cabriolets, coupes, MPVs and SUVs.  It also has a strong head office staff and network of just under 200 Retailers who strive to offer the highest levels of service, from the moment a potential customer visits the www.volkswagen.co.uk website, through their retail and ownership journeys to repurchase and beyond.

Alex Smith, Director of Volkswagen UK, said: ‘We are fortunate at Volkswagen to have a great range of products which win a large number of awards, but this stands out for me as one of the best.  A Which? Award is a genuine seal of approval from an independent organisation that proves we’re selling the right cars in the right way.  All the new products and services we offer are designed with the consumer in mind and we’ll continue to innovate to make our customers’ lives easier and better.’

Watch: The Stig Drives (nearly) Seven Generations of Golf GTI

With Volkswagen announcing “major” updates to the Golf, it seems an appropriate time to look back on what we’ve had so far. And who better to guide us through the rich history of the most popular European car ever made than Ben Collins, the former Stig? Some say he’s never met a GTI he doesn’t love, and that he can’t grow any of his own facial hair. All we know is … Ben Collins is actually a pretty solid presenter. Working his way through seven generations of the GTI (skipping over the Mk6) Collins tells us a little bit about each one and matches each mark to its corresponding facial hair craze. The Mk1 GTI for instance, is light and quick, but can lose traction under hard acceleration (in heavy rain). Despite that, Collins calls the Mk1 a “pure gem.” The Mk4, meanwhile, is a powerful return to form after the perhaps too sensible Mk3. Collins ends in the only way he could, with the Mk7, which accelerates faster than a Lamborghini Countach and is all kinds of wonderful. Watch, ...

Watch: The Story of the Ads that Made VW Big in America

The ads for the original Beetle are almost as famous and well-loved as the Beetle itself. Looking back now it’s easy to forget, though, just how easily things could have wrong. A new short from Dial M Films tracks the history of those early Volkswagen ads that sold America on the people’s car. The story, of course, begins with the visionary agency that made the ads: Doyle Dane Bernach (DDB). As a popular agency for Jewish products, no agency was more aware of the implications of Volkswagen, and no one, it seems, was more skeptical of the brand than DDB. “Remember Those Great Volkswagen Ads?” from Dial M Films on Vimeo . William Bernbach, though, was adament that the firm take the client, probably as a way of attracting other lucrative automotive clients. Saddled with a client that he didn’t want, art director Helmut Krone says in the film that he originally came up with ads that were all wrong. Krone tried to do what other manufacturers did and was intent on selling the Beetle ...

Watch: The Zerouno Cruis’n USA

ItalDesign is drumming up excitement for its new supercar based around the same 5.2-liter Audi V10 that powers the R8. Naturally, it hit the road for a cruise around California last week to celebrate Monterey Car Week. There isn’t much in the way of V10 noise—which is a real shame given the sound it makes—but you do at least get a good look at the car inside and out in this video. With a body made entirely of carbon fiber and designed to be as aerodynamic and light as possible, ItalDesign figures that it will be good for a 0-60 time of just 3.2 seconds. “We put it our best skills into the production of the first car,” said Massimo Bovi, head of pre-series production, when the Zerouno was first unveiled in Geneva earlier this year. “Using some of the finest productions methods and engaging our high-skilled workers.” The car features clever aero tricks gleaned from single-seat racing, like a y-duct up front to improve downforce and turn-in. Available in a number of trim levels, the...
