We reported (and told) that Martin Winterkorn – from the European division of VW would not be able to sell the brand new 2009 Golf Mk VI in the United States. We are happy to say that this is not true. Steve Keys – from the American division stated that there will be a Stateside production and it will be introduced this fall.
Rumors are flying around that Volkswagen has chosen not to sell the brand new Mk VI Golf in Autralia, Brazil, and the United States. The company has been experiencing financial problems and is looking to sell it only where they will make enough profit from the car.
It is sad to hear because the Golf is VW’s second highest selling car next to the Jetta and many of us are wondering what will become of the line if there is to be no new addition to the line-up. It will be interesting to see how it all turns out.
When the Hummer was first introduced consumers fell in love with it at once despite its bulky design and the amount it needed to fill it up with gas. Now however consumers have a different point of view on it and are starting to forget the love they once had for it and are trying desperately to get rid of it. Those who never got the opportunity to purchase one before no longer want to have one.
Airbags are an essential part of the car that helps to protect us and to keep us safe during an accident. Over the years the types of airbags that are used have evolved and are used to help everyone in the car.
Many vehicles are built with six or more airbags leaving no interior room for other inflatable supplemental restraints. Toyoda Gosei (it’s an offshoot of Toyota) is showing a prototype fitted with airbags designed to protect pedestrians–yes, those “innocent victims” outside the vehicle.
The first production version of the 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 has been built and already shipped to a dealership in AZ. Only this first car is not for sale because it has already been sold. Craig Jackson – CEO of Barrett-Jackson – won the new car in an auction for $400,000. Now all he needs to do is pick it up.
