Guten Tag,

For your consideration is a 1979 VW Beetle Convertible. One of the very last VW Beetles built and imported to the U.S. 1979 was the last year and this one was built in December 1979. Engine is completely original, with original fuel injection system intact and working very well. This VW Beetle is in overall excellent condition. Drives great, brakes well, and the engine has plenty of power. Faithfully restored by German with an eye for detail and preference for original German parts.

One of the best original color combinations. This vehicle has never been in a collision. Painted in the original Florida Blue, with three coats of clear using quality DuPont products. It has a very deep depth of shine, and the paint job will last many years. The fenders, doors, and so on were removed in the paint processes. Also painted were the trunk, interior, wheel wells, and even under the fenders to give the owner an appreciation of the appearance it would have had when new.

Interior has been completely refurbished to original standards. New seat upholstery, carpet, and seat padding replaced with the original style coconut hair padding. New vinyl convertible top, headliner, rubber seals...many new parts.

Odometer reads 42,916. The engine is very spirited and runs strong. Having the original fuel injection system makes this car very reliable to drive. Mechanically excellent, the vehicle having been thoroughly refitted with new brakes, exhaust, suspension springs.

Includes new IPOD/IPHONE/USB ready stereo system. The brand of stereo is a Blaupunkt, which is period correct, to uphold the heritage. The vehicle is also pre-wired for rear speakers.

A car like this, when stored properly, will not decrease in value. It gets noticed everywhere it goes, and puts a smile on people's face.

Toyota reclaims global sales crown, GM and VW not far behind

Mon, 28 Jan 2013

TheDetroitBureau.com reports Toyota has retaken the global sales crown. The Japanese automaker turned out 9.75 million vehicles last year, putting it just ahead of General Motors, with 9.29 million vehicles. Volkswagen, meanwhile, filled out the podium by building 9.1 million units in 2012.
Still, Toyota numbers fell just below projections the automaker made earlier in the year, due largely to a fierce territorial dispute between Japan and China that has seen mainland buyers shun Japanese goods. But the news marks a substantial comeback for Toyota. The company fell to third place in the global production race in 2011 after tragic earthquake and tsunami caused several plant closures.
In Japan, Toyota enjoyed a sales increase of 35 percent over the previous year, while the company's worldwide sales jumped by 23 percent thanks in part to new additions to the Prius line. The automaker is forecasting yet another increase for 2013, with the company projecting to reach 9.91 million units this year. Neither Volkswagen nor GM have released their own projections just yet.

VW Group to split brands under four holding companies

Tue, Jun 16 2015

The Volkswagen Group is planning a tremendous shift in its internal structure that will decentralize operations by splitting its 12 brands into four different holding companies. Here's the breakdown. Things will be split logically, considering the inter-sharing of parts, platforms, and engines. The Volkswagen brand, Seat, and Skoda make up a passenger vehicle division led by former BMW man Herbert Diess. Audi, which is tightly intertwined with Lamborghini and motorcycle manufacturer Ducati, will be managed by current Audi exec Rupert Stadler. Porsche and Bentley, which are already quite close, will be joined by Bugatti and run by Matthias Mueller. Finally, a commercial vehicles division will include Volkswagen Commercial, Scania, and Man. Former Daimler exec Andreas Renschler will take care of the big vehicles. The massive move, according to Automotive News Europe, is part of an internal VAG effort to move away from the structure established by ousted Chairman Ferdinand Piech, who favored a compact, but highly centralized, management structure to oversee the independent actions of the company's brands. Criticism of Piech's arrangement stemmed from the company's slow responses to changes in the market, ANE reports. The new structure should make for a more efficient, streamlined company that's better able to make crucial decisions. What are your thoughts? Should VAG decentralize, or did Piech have the right idea? Have your say in Comments.
