Volkswagen
Volkswagen is the largest German automaker and one of the largest car companies
in the world, owning offshoot brands such as Audi, Bentley, Bugatti, and Lamborghini.
In the past year, it has also merged with Porsche.
The most recognizable and famous Volkswagen is the Beetle, due to its rounded shape.
In 1998, Volkswagen introduced the redesigned New Beetle to success and acclaim.
The car has become a part of American culture, and Volkswagen's current marketing
campaign centers around the popular "punch buggy" game that people play when they
see the distinctive vehicle.
Volkswagen's other compact is the Golf, which also comes in the performance-oriented
GTI version. The GTI has received acclaim as a "hot hatch" performance hatchback
model, and modified versions have appeared in the winners circle on racetracks around
the world. The car is very popular overseas, especially in Britain, and an estimated
25 million have been sold since the model's introduction in 1974.
The company's mid-size Jetta and full-size Passat sedan models have also been successful,
and Volkswagen also offers the cars as wagons. In recent years, Volkswagen has expanded
its model range to include larger cars, including the Tiguan and Touareg crossovers
and the Routan minivan.
