I have a friend who has a late 90’s VW Golf and that car is in shop at least once or twice a month for repairs.
She still loves the car death even though it cleans out her savings every month  .

I was quite surprised by this news today. But it will be short lived.
There's only a couple of things that lined up just right for VW to take the volume lead from Toyota and the main one being the European and Asian (China) auto stimulus packages (like our Cash for Clunkers). Thing is, those areas prefer VW's over Toyota's and launched VW past Toyota slightly. VW's new acquisition of Porsche helped their numbers too not to mention that VW owns many other companies as well while Toyota only has it's own 3 divisions (and only one division in many countries). So while VW's sales in the US suck, they do very well in Europe where customers just care about that German driving feel while completely ignoring quality. China's market is growing really quick and unfortunately for Toyota, China is still holding a grudge against anything that is Japanese (from the past). Anyway, Toyota will retake the lead next quarter and keep it. |
