By Correy Putton

Volkswagen will provide its thirteen-millionth owner together with the authorized Volkswagen dealer a special recognition as its way of celebrating another sales milestone it has achieved.

It was in the year 1949 when Volkswagen has started its US sales volume began with only two retail deliveries. By the year 1960, Volkswagen has become a familiar sight on US roads and highways resulting to an over 100,000 units of VW vehicles sold annually.

Volkswagen's product portfolio sold in the US includes the original Beetle, the legendary Microbus, the sporty Karmann-Ghia, the Scirocco models and the all-purpose Thing. 1983 was a great year for Volkswagen because this was the year when Volkswagen introduced the GTI, a car that combines power and economy all in one package. The introduction of the GTI in the US also helped in establishing Volkswagen's so-called pocket rocket segment.

The Jetta is one of the best selling European sedans produced and sold by Volkswagen in the US. It was branded as safe which is not very common for sporty cars. On the other hand, Volkswagen's Rabbit hatchback has become the best selling car in the world.

Tales of Volkswagen amazing sales momentum has not ended with the Rabbit. The launching of the iconic New Beetle and the TDI diesel vehicles in the US have increased VW's sales volume by over half a million by 1998. As a matter of fact, Volkswagen has been able to sell over 800,000 diesel vehicles in the US ranging from its fuel-sipping 1977 Rabbit diesel to the powerful, torque-rich 2007 Toureg V10 TDI.

Volkswagen is optimistic that its high sales volume will continue with the introduction of the hardtop convertible segment with the Eos and its exclusive combination of sunroofs, coupe and convertible wrapped in one stylish package.
