Official: Vw announces the return of Gold nameplate to the U.S.

As was reported earlier, the Volkswagen Mark VI Golf hatch will not come with the Rabbit nameplate when it hits the markets of the US near the close of 2009. The Rabbit designation was brought back three years ago by VW of America after it was dropped in the wake of the termination of the first-generation Golf way back in the early 80s.

It was suggested to assist in promoting the Golf by referring back to some of the American longing for the Mark I Golf, but regrettably, VW had forgotten about the bad experience of the Americans with regards the first Rabbit. When VW reintroduced the Rabbit nameplate it did nothing significant to help the sales of the Mark V Golf. So, it is expected that the Mark VI version will be called a Golf.

Man, it's on purpose!

Considering forecasts of hyperinflation coming to the USA, hard assets will be one of the few viable option not to see your 401k going down the toilet. According to inflation.us:

"Americans who begin preparing for hyperinflation now, not only could preserve their purchasing power in the years ahead, but could potentially become wealthy as Americans hoarding U.S. Dollars, bonds and other dollar-denominated assets lose everything. We believe there will soon be a Gold, Silver, and Agriculture boom that will make the dot-com and Real Estate booms look small in comparison."
