Sales Figures for VW
I just looked at sales data for cars and suvs
VW's Jetta placed 17th in the cars list, selling over 43000 year to date, 50302 for 2014, a lot of tough competition
No VW on the SUV list
Subaru Outback and Forester had good numbers, tough time for VW as Americans do not perceive VW as a CUV/SUV contender
Golf Sportwagen is going to try and counter that perception. VW needs a contender in that segment, looking at the list reveals potential sales figures VW is missing out on, millions of CUVs and SUVs sold annually, those are big numbers
Americans love for the CUV and SUV cannot be ignored. It really took off in the 80s, boomed in the 90s but slowed with gas prices at Y2K's, but have picked up again.
Amazing numbers and I'm not a numbers guy but I was nearly floored when I did a google search and looked at the data, time to listen to some music again, my oh my, a lot of sheep out there
