Year to date figures are down 2.4% from same time figures in 2006. VWoA will have to have a MASSIVE sales increase in December in order to match 2006 figures. VWoA has been advertising extensively and has been giving enormous incentives. Yet they still barely pique interest. The problem is that they are selling VOLKSWAGENS!

Year to date figures for 2007 are down 2.9% compared to same time in 2006. If VWoA can maintain this momentum sales for 2007 will only be down slightly from 2006 figures. This is outstanding performance considering the junk that VWoA is trying to foist on the American public.

That's why these changes indicate a change in setup. - Building a plant in the US means cheaper production and transport compared to production in Europe and even America south of the Texas state line. Furthermore, the MkVI, which is in accelerated startup and is due out next year in Europe, is designed to be cheaper to produce. So yes, a MkV can never be $15k or under. A MkVI? If the claims are true, it's certainly doable. I have no idea why you are posting double, either. Correct.

The Rabbit is compared to last years sales of the same Rabbit, though if you go ahead and add the Golf numbers the jump isn't 260% but 125%, still more than double than that of last year. The only MkV that isn't doing so well is the Jetta, which is -8.5%. The New Beetle will going down since it's still on the MkIV chassis. I expect it to disappear entirely by 2009, as scheduled. The Passat, Touareg and Phaeton are where they are down significantly, though VW seems to be calling it a wash and concentrating on selling the MkVs, if their summer ad campaign was any indication. They've got plans for 2008 and 2009 to revitalize this end... I'm not confident about it, though I am more pleased to hear about their efforts to produce a $15k car. As for the iCar thing with Apple... that's just bizarre. But hey, sure, why not. - The Eos isn’t a renamed car.
