Volkswagen Says It Will Become Worlds Largest Automaker 3 Years Sooner Than Expected

Volkswagen’s plan to sell 10 million cars per year by 2018, becoming the world's largest car maker in the process, has been brought forward by three years, a source has revealed.

The source, citing secret company documents, told Manager Magazine that VW is now targeting more than eight million sales by 2012 and 10 million sales by 2015. This will mean that VW will pass Toyota as the world's largest car maker.

Actually, I like the 2.5 in my '06, although I would have preferred the diesel. My only problem with the new Jetta is the decontenting. I can't get what I have in my current Jetta, let alone anything better. Looks like I'll be moving to Audi, especially if they offer the A4 with a diesel.

After buying Suzuki it will become very easy for them because Suzuki is a big player in Asia.
