Purpose

I will try my best to provide detailed info on various cars and what is like to live with them, I have already produced a few for Jaguar-car-forums, I will do my best to be unbiased, but it will be hard for some cars. I will re-produce press releases and copy from other motoring news.

USA SALES MAY - VW - The new Atlas saves the day, or month for the brand.

  • May sales totaled 30,014 units, an increase of 4.3 percent over May 2016
  • Sales of all-new Atlas totaled 1,610 units
Volkswagen of America, Inc. (VWoA) today reported sales of 30,014 units delivered in May 2017, a 4.3 percent increase over May 2016. With 133,861 units delivered year-to-date in 2017, the company is reporting an increase of 6.9 percent in year-over-year sales.


May 2017 also marks the start of sales for the all-new, Chattanooga, Tenn. built Atlas. Deliveries of the vehicle, which began mid-month, totaled 1,610 units. The SUV range of cars had highs and llows, with the Atlas helping the bottom line by over 1,600 units, the Tiguan took a huge drop like the Touareg, also the CC and Passat took a dive in May.

However the year to date figures show that Volkswagen are creeping ahead nicely, they still have some way to go to get back to the heady days before the fuel scandal, but with the Atlas and next generation Golf both these will help get the brand back up to where it once was.
