Volkswagen and its plans for the United States
Volkswagen has some very interesting plans, which, a priori seem impossible but that may be more real than we think, as long as the German manufacturer has to work and work and learn to do things well. Plans for sales for the year 2018 are nothing more and nothing less than 9 million vehicles sold annually. Making it virtually the same as the current figures of Toyota and General Motors, but roughly a decade can be achieved many things.
To achieve this goal sell in Germany and Spain were not valid, they have to go to the large, the most lucrative market: the United States. They must enter fully and as smoothly as possible, can not afford a failure as big as that received the Phaeton. Specifically, this year launched in the USA the following models:
* Passat DC
* Jetta SportWagon
* 50-state Jetta TDI (diesel)
* Tiguan SUV
* Minivan Routan
* TDI Touareg
As you can see, Volkswagen aims very strong proponent diesel vehicles rather large size and with a star particular, the Passat CC. There is no reason not to believe in its success, because unlike the Phaeton, it is much more affordable, it has a much more beautiful line and is complemented very well for those who are literally lovers Mercedes CLS but can not afford one so big economic outlay.
But beware, because a new Phaeton also come to the United States. We do not know how or why, the only thing we know is when: 2010.
With these weapons, Volkswagen has to conquer the American market and strengthened a good selling point, because it is an absolutely key market if they want to achieve something.
