Full Year 2007 New VW Retail Sales Results via vfacts

It looks like VW has had much success with the Jetta since its Australian launch.
This mirrors other countries where the Jetta actually outsells the Golf.
I have just bought my 4 th Jetta...a 2.0 FSI IN Oz.
I owned a 1993 in America
I owned a 1988 and 1995 in South Africa.
It is a superb product.
Bring the new wagon in as a Jetta Sports Wagon.
540000 new Jettas sold world wide in 2006.
2007 should be better.

Please keep the detailed monthly statistics coming.
It is a pleasure to see all the core models in the line up selling so well.You just need to look on the roads to see plenty of new Golfs GTIs Jettas and Passats.
May VW go from strength to strength.

Be interested to see if available the breakdown in Golf model variants (ie: GTI-R32-TDI.. etc etc) Anyone know if there's figures available for that or is it not complied until years end? Side note: in year ending Oct '07 Australian car sales broke the magic million mark for first time in history, be interesting to see if this trend holds for '07 calendar year.

Pretty sure Australians bought over 1 million cars in 2006.

As for individual model sales (GTI, R32 etc) I can't get that information. You'd need to source that directly from Volkswagen if possible.

I did say year to Oct '07!!! And have to see if holds trend for calendar year '07!!!

Everyone was sure that 2006 would break the magic million mark because of the strong 2005 result but that never eventuated. But it would be good to see it make the predicted 1,050,000 units sold as this will mean that manufacturers around the world will take more interest in the australian market and see more opportunities for further model diversity in the future, breaks that pyschological barrier of ONE MILLION SOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am waiting anxiously to see Volkswagens sales figures for December so we can see how our companys products did over the year.
Am sure most of the core models improved over 2006.
Jetta and Passat had its first full year on the market in 2007.

Hi Anthony

Monday is the big day

FCAI delayed from Friday just to tease all of us.

Apparently 2007 will be known as the 1st year of sales Australia wide breaching the 1 Million units a year mark
