Tough times have seen most manufactures relying on incentive programs to keep their dealers happy, and now Volkswagen is joining the fray. Even though they just passed GM and Toyota to become the world’s most valuable car maker, Volkswagen is still feeling the affects to a weak economy. Included in the promotion are a host of 2009...

The VW Jetta has just been launched in India and many feel that it is being outclassed by its cousin, the European Octavia/Indian Laura, but there seems to be one more strong reason to buy that Jetta over others.

VW hit the panic button when the sales of its flagship model Golf hit an all time low. So VW unveiled the new Mk6 Golf and now we have the GTi version. It will debut at the Paris Motor Show.
