:banana :banana :banana :banana :banana ![http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/08/vwfordpacman_opt.jpg](http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/08/vwfordpacman_opt.jpg) Germany taking over! :mwahaha Volkswagen has overtook Ford as the world’s 3rd largest auto maker with the strong will not to stop there. The Volkswagen Group has taken its place among the world’s top three automakers thanks to the Wolfsburg-based company’s outstanding delivery figures in the first half of 2008. Rival Ford had to settle for fourth position. “We are delighted that the Volkswagen Group has made it to the global automobile industry’s top three for the first time. This shows that we are on the right track with our ever-stronger international presence and, above all, our product program. We will systematically push ahead with our growth course even in the present difficult market environment,” Prof. Dr. Martin Winterkorn, Chairman of the Board of Management of Volkswagen Aktiengesellschaft, commented. With 3.31 million vehicles delivered in the first half of 2008, the Volkswagen Group increased deliveries in the first six months of this year by 7.2 percent, moving up to third place in the global vehicle sales ranking and overtaking its rival Ford, which announced vehicle sales of 3.22 million for this period. Thats how you run a business! :nod ---

I insist that you see so many broken VW’s because of the drivers. This goes with any car, it’s due to bad drivers that don’t take care of their cars. The only reason that you insist you see so many broke down VW’s is because THEY’RE FUCKING AWESOME AND EVERYONE WANTS ONE!! :benny :lol ---

[rant]vw’s are very reliable cars IF you maintain them. they will last forever. Ever since i bought my first VW(1990 Jetta) i fell in love. Even tho it was a piece of shit cosmetically. i loved it, it was really easy to work on very peppy and really good on gas. I’m on my third one now.[/rant] ---
