With other automakers reporting record losses, declaring bankruptcy and asking for bailouts, the makers of VW cars have survived these tough economic times and come through them much stronger.
One of the reasons VW cars and sales have survived is because their main focus is in other parts of the world besides just the United States. Although the US is the world’s largest auto market at this time, VW cars sell extremely well in Latin America and China. In these two places, Volkswagen is the leading automaker.
According to this article in Time Magazine, the automaker’s “weak position in the U.S. market, the world’s largest, has turned out to be a blessing in disguise during this crisis.” Since other automakers have placed many of their proverbial eggs in the US basket, they have suffered lower sales in recent months.
The maker of VW cars, on the other hand, is refocusing its efforts in the United States market. It has a new mid-sized vehicle that is designed mainly to compete with the Toyota Camry. Officials at Volkswagen call this new model the “Toyota Killer.”
