Who Is Schooling Who? VW Posts Global Sales Increase For May Amid Industry Chaos

A rejuvenated model range led by its new sixth-generation Golf helped Volkswagen AG outperform its competitors in May and grab more share of the world's car market, Europe's largest automaker said on Friday.

Led by massive gains in Germany and China -- its two biggest markets -- group vehicle sales rose over last year's comparable month for the first time in 2009, gaining 1.5 percent to 556,700 units.

The group's core VW brand contributed substantially with a 10 percent gain in deliveries in May because of strong demand for its Tiguan medium SUV and Golf compact, as well as models sold in China such as the Lavida and Passat Lingyu.

You shouldn't pop the cork so fast:
"Company’s sales rose in May for the first time in eight months thanks to government incentives".
