Volkswagen has huge global ambitions, and part of their efforts are focused on the US market. Despite initial schepticism, most of their new porducts have been well received, especially the facelifted Passat, which has won award after award.
VW of America CEO Jonathan Browning says this will translate into the bottom line, as the company will report its first profit for its sales operations since 2003. What’s more, despite industry jitters, next year’s results are said to keep their head above watter.

“This is not just a volume game. This is about the quality of the revenue and quality of sales. What you are seeing is customers connecting with VW and our momentum continuing,”
Browning said in an interview at the Los Angeles Auto Show with Automotive News.

Sales of VW of America are expected to top the 300,000 that hasn’t been broken since 2003.
