VW of America Sales Increase in May

Volkswagen of America today posted its sales results for the month of May and the news is good. Sales have increased by nearly 5% over last year’s numbers. As a result, the US branch of VW has sold nearly 7% more vehicles this year than it did up to this point last year.

The month was a strong one for the Golf, which sold 26% better in May 2017 than as compared to the previous year. The whole Golf family, meanwhile, fared even better, thanks to rocketing sales from the SportWagen. Sales across the Golf family increased by 61%, to more than 7,000 in all.

The Jetta family, also performed well, with sales increasing by more than 5% in May. Sales of the Beetle, too, rose in May to 1,829, which is 55% more than a year ago.

The Atlas also started sales, and we can now report than 1,600 of the big SUVs have sold. Since this was their first month of sales ever, we have nothing to compare that figure against, though.

With the summer season fast approaching, VW can be optimistic for the near future.

2018 Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster Review

“Supercars just don’t excite me anymore.” These words, spoken to me over a month ago by another journalist, friend, and (so-called) enthusiast were echoing in my head for far too long, but they’ve finally been drowned out. Drowned out by the wail of a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine mounted in the middle of the new Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster. My friend’s point is that back in the good old days, there was a crop of supercars that captured the imagination with amazing style, sounds, performance, and more. Today, it seems like everything is capable of supercar performance, with large luxury sedans outdoing some of the best and most dedicated teams of car nuts, while former pillars of automotive excellence are suddenly pumping out family-friendly SUVs. Beyond that, another league of supercars, dubbed hypercars have cropped up with hybrid gas-electric powertrains that make magical things happen quickly, but at the cost of the acoustic drama, visual flair, and engag...

PZM 73rd Rally Poland Kicks Off

The WRC is in Poland and after only one stage there are three Volkswagens in the top five. Today’s special stage at the Mikolajki Arena is the first stage, but the rally doesn’t begin in earnest until Friday. Today’s super special stage was less than two minutes long, and less than a second separates the top five drivers. Hyundai Motorsport’s Thierry Neuville tops the charts today, followed closely by Volkswagen’s Andreas Mikkelsen. Sebastien Ogier and Jari-Matti Latvala are in fourth and fifth, respectively. Expect Ogier to climb the rankings, though. Not only did he win the rally last year, he has won every year since 2013. And with rain expected on Friday, Ogier’s chances are even better. “If it’s a bit wet then I hope I can make some good times,” said Ogier earlier today. “The best would be some good rain during the night so it’s a damp surface and then not too bad weather during the day so specators can enjoy the show without being too wet.” If it is dry, though, speed is on ...
