Transcript of Volkswagen cars a showcase of mechanical ingenuity
If you're looking for a new car, your best recourse is to go to your local Volkswagen or VW dealership to
look at the German company's mechanical wonders. That being said, this car company is second in the world,
next to the Japanese giant Toyota. Aiming to be the world's number one by 2018, it is gaining ground at a
scintillating pace, due to the outstanding quality of its cars. Although a lot of people misspell it as
Volkswagon it is still a mainstream car manufacturer and a very popular one at that. Anyway, why is it so
popular?
The Beetle
The last original Beetle
rolled off the
production line in
Mexico in 2003, and it
sits in the car
manufacturer's museum in
Wolfsburg, Germany. That
being said, although you
will not find it at your
local VW dealership, you
will find the new and
modern version of the
Beetle as awesome as the
old one.
The Beetle, also known as the Bug, is ranked fourth in the World's Most Influential Cars list, and it
is actually the bestselling and pioneer product of Volkswagen. Aside from which, it has been in
production since 1936. Although it stopped fully in 2003, it is still the longest produced car ever.
It was designed by a German car genius, Ferdinand Porsche (who is obviously the founder of Porsche,
another car company, who is an affiliate of Volkswagen) in the 1930s. It is also considered a novelty
in pop culture, since the car starred in numerous movies, particularly in the 1960s movie, Herbie.
As of today, the new Beetles are less rounded and flatter than their old counterparts, it still
resembles the design of the old, and it still is one of the best cars you can ever have.
The Volkswagen Golf
If you troop to your local VW dealership and ask for the best and
most affordable cars in their inventory, the car dealer will
definitely give you a look of the Volkswagen Golf. Currently in
the seventh generation, it is a compact car and is ideally used as
a compact car. The first version of the Golf underwent production
in 1974, and was discontinued in 1983. Since then, it has gained
numerous awards, most notably the World Car of the Year in 2009
and 2013, underscoring Volkswagen's competitiveness in the world
market.
Arguably the one of Volkswagen's cheaper cars, the Jetta is a compact car that is currently in its
sixth generation, and considered as a compact sedan as well. Although the Golf is widely considered
as the company's flagship car, the Jetta was made to compete with the compact cars of other
manufacturers, notably the Honda Civic and the Toyota Corolla. It won the Green Car of the Year
Award in 2008, awarded by the Green Car Journal. Aside from which, it has won the Motorweek's 2009
Driver's Choice Awards for Best Eco-Friendly Car and Best of the Year.
If you're still not convinced, just go to your local VW dealer and check the cars out personally.
You will definitely like what you see. Regardless if you're looking for your first car or to
replace your current one, Volkswagen cars are your best option.
