Hey VW! Now you can state that you are "the fastest growing car brand" like those fraudsters named Nissan.

re "...Crawl Out Of The Abyss..." and "...Up 12.65% In February..."

I'm no VW fan, but the two statements don't sound like they belong together, unless you're a VW hater and you want to put a negative spin on everything VW. A 12% monthly unit sale increase is much more than a crawl. It's downright respectable, even if the company isn't.

And it's now well over a year since the diesel stop sale hammered their sales numbers. They are comparing year to year with equivalent product. I suspect that once the Atlas and new Tiguan hits the dealerships, they will continue to rise.

Mike Rutherford in his AUTO EXPRESS column points out that VW's short term gains are driven buy huge deals...$0 first payment + $0 down payment + $0 security deposit plus 3 years free maintenance on all 2017 VW's in the USA. Top end VW's are discounted $15,000 and many new models are offered with 20year/200,000 mile warranties and used cars with 10 years/ 100,000 mile warranties. With these incentives you cannot help move top line sales...for a while that is!
