2009 Volkswagen Cars

Volkswagen’s Jetta and Passat sedan were designed with the American market in mind, and Volkswagen is hoping to boost sales to an astronomical 800,000 units in the United States, as it aims for global dominance of the automotive sector. While vehicles like the Routan minivan have been a flop, their Touraeg and Tiguan SUVs, Golf hatchback, GTI hot hatch, CC sports sedan and of course, the Beetle have long been venerated by critics and enthusiasts.

Volkswagen has come a long way since the Beetle was introduced to America in the 1960s. For a long time, they were a marginal but premium brand positioned as the darling of enthusiasts on a budget. This didn’t translate into sales, and the company has re-positioned themselves as a volume player, selling affordable mainstream cars with the cachet of a European brand. Their strategy seems to be working, as the new Jetta has been a sales success despite being panned by critics as a betrayal of everything the previous Jetta stood for. Products like the GTI and GLI sport compacts have long been bright spots in Volkswagen’s lineup, and their current crop of products seems to have resonated with a consumer base that ignored VW for a time.

2011 Volkswagen Touareg Review
Improved in so many ways, perhaps the biggest change to the Touareg is the price, meaning there’s now very little gap between this Volkswagen and its Porsche sibling.

2011 Volkswagen Jetta TDI Review
All new for 2011, the Jetta is more functional but less inspiring. The TDI trim is, however, a small sign that Volkswagen hasn’t forgotten about its past or a core group of loyal buyers.

2011 Volkswagen Jetta Review
The 2011 Jetta is the first model from Volkswagen designed specifically for the U.S. market. Larger and cheaper than in the past it would seem to have solved the car’s two biggest issues. There are, however, more than just a few down sides.
