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.’

Review: Saying Goodbye to the CC V6

For all its size and its global reach, Volkswagen is still, in many ways, a deeply human company. There was, for instance, the Bugatti Veyron an ego project if ever there was one. Then the purchase of Ducati, a move most called folly. And then there was the Phaeton, the Volkswagen that most folks can’t afford. Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor. The version I drove, because I live in Canada, is a V6 Wolfsburg Edition, which apparently isn’t available in the States. Nor is the V6, not as...

More 3.0-Liter TDI Settlement Details Expected by January 31

Volkswagen and the TDI Plaintiff’s Steering Committee were in court today for another status conference following the agreement in principal reached earlier this week. Little new information was given at the conference held before Judge Charles Breyer today, but the court ordered the parties to develop a formal settlement agreement, class action notices, and a class notice plan by January 31, 2017. For now, though, owners still don’t know how much to expect in compensation. Elizabeth Cabraser, lead Counsel for the Plaintiff’s Steering Committee reaffirmed in a statement today that the compensation would be “substantial.” The potential cost to Volkswagen is widely reported to exceed $1 billion, though, with an additional $225 million going into an environmental trust to help offset excess emissions. Buy back offers are still only expected for the oldest 20,000 of the roughly 80,000 VW Group vehicles sold in America with the 3.0-liter TDI engine. Those vehicles are mostly SUVs, like ...
