Volkswagen Surge Continues
Volkswagen of America posted a 13.7-percent sales increase in November, the fifth consecutive month VW's sales have surpassed last year's marks.
Sales were powered by a whopping 307.5-percent blast from the surprising CC "coupe sedan," to 3,187 units for the month and year-to-date sales of 20,723. The Tiguan compact crossover also posted an 18.1-percent increase and even the low-volume Touareg crossover pulled ahead with a 14.3-percent gain for the month -- perhaps fueled by the new addition of diesel power.
Other winners at VW in November included the Jetta: In sedan configuration, sales increased by 13.2 percent, while the Jetta Sport Wagen body style appears to be pushing the right buttons, moving to a 67.7-percent increase for the month and 15,849 units for the year. The Passat wagon also enjoyed a slight gain.
But VW sales remain off by 6.1 percent for the year, with only the Jetta, Tiguan, CC, Routan (the CC and Routan were in early launch phases at this time last year) posting increased year-to-date sales. New Beetle sales amounted to a mere 594 units in November and have totaled just 13,408 for the year, while the Eos hardtop convertible also has faded; the Eos' year-to-date total of 6,754 sales is down by 45.5 percent.
