Volkswagen makes 3 of the top 10 best sold cars in the world for 2012

Volkswagen is well underway to achieve its goal to become the top global automaker by 1818, if we are to judge from the vehicle sales on a global basis. See, from the top 10 vehicles, Volkswagen produces three of them.

The VW list starts with The Jetta (sold as the Vento or the Bora in certain markets) is Volkswagen's best-selling model worldwide, thanks to its acceptance in the U.S. and in China, two markets that are crucial to the German carmaker's plan to dominate the global industry by 2018. Through November, VW sold about 8.3 million vehicles worldwide. Jetta sales for the year are expected to hit 822,000.

Next in line is the Golf. Though less popular in the U.S. than the Jetta or the mid-sized Passat, the Golf, including the TDI diesel, is one of Volkswagen's best-selling vehicles. LMC Automotive projects sales of about 726,000 for 2012. Finally, the third VW to form part of the top 10 sales list id the Polo. Polo is a super-mini car that isn't available in the U.S. But it's immensely popular in Europe and other markets, where fuel is expensive and streets are crowded and narrow, which is why it's in the global Top 10. LMC Automotive projects Polo sales of 704,000.

We at GTi Aruba are extremely proud to be able to offer such an important brand to our customers. By the way, all three models are available right now at our dealership.

Volkswagen best selling European brand for 2011

Volkswagen can now add once again to their extensive list of achievements the total leadership of the European automarket for 2011.

Volkswagen Group, comprising Volkswagen, Audi, Seat, Skoda and other brands, achieved total sales of 3.045.000 units in the European area, on a total market of 13 million cars. This makes Volkswagen Group the source of almost a quarter of all cars sold in the Old Continent.

Going into specific brands, Volkswagen also was the biggest brand around with 1.6 million vehicles, almost half a million more than the next brand in ranking. And in terms of individual models, the clear winner was the Volkswagen Golf, followed by the Polo, also from the german maker.

This is a trend consistent with the last few years, and a clear indication of the solid position that Volkswagen enjoys in a competitive market such as the European. This position is also confirmed as both Volkswagen the auto group and Volkswagen the brand grew during 2011, while the overall market shrank almost 2%.

GTi Aruba, as official car dealer for Volkswagen, is very proud of being able to offer such quality vehicles, and invites Aruba to visit the showroom in Sabana Berde 16D, right in front of Garage Centraal Aruba, to see up close the models available from Volkswagen for our market.
