VW Group Sales Rise Nearly 5% in October

Continuing on its path to recovery, the Volkswagen Group again saw sales increase this October. With a monthly increase 4.7%, sales for the year so far are now 2.6% higher than they were last year.

China, again, is Volkswagen’s engine of growth. Sales there rose more than 16% in October with the total number of cars sold in the country exceeding those sold in all of Europe.

Despite that, it was still a fair month in Europe, where sales were nearly 1% higher this October. That pushes the total for the year to date to 3.3% higher than January to October, 2015.

The Americas remain problematic for the Volkswagen Group. With sales tumbling in Brazil, due to the overall economic situation, and in America due to the emissions scandal.

Despite that, sales for the Volkswagen brand are on the mend. The brand sold more than 510,000 in October, which is 4.4% more than it did in October, 2015. As a result, brand sales for the year so far are 1% higher, too.

Audi, Skoda, and Porsche again pushed sales growth with increases of between 3.3% and 6.7%.

“Our delivery figures show that our vehicles convince many buyers. Our customers’ trust in our products is our most precious asset”, said Fred Kappler, Head of Group Sales. “We want to keep on thrilling our customers with quality, ride comfort, safety and innovations, because we can only master the upcoming challenges through qualitative growth.”

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

Waterfest Moves to Atco Dragway

Waterfest 24 will be held at Atco Dragway, in Atco, New Jersey. The summer event will take place at its new venue on July 21 and 22.
