Volkswagen of America, Inc. today announced June 2007 sales of 23,127 units, representing an increase of 15.0 percent over the June 2006 total of 20,121. This performance reflects the best overall sales month for the Volkswagen brand since August 2006.
This increase can be attributed to strong market acceptance of the entry level Rabbit model, and a 44.9% surge in deliveries of the sporty GTI. The retractable hardtop convertible Eos posted its second best month ever, as summer is now in full swing.
Volkswagen sales performance for June of 2007 underscores the brand’s “return to its roots” affordability showing significant increases in Jetta and Rabbit volume car lines, combined with gathering momentum in spirited niche models like GTI and Eos.
