VW is one of the major car companies on the planet. They are tiny in our market here in the US . but globbally .. they are in the top three I believe....for units sold, or total sales ... or however you want to measure it. This includes all their sub-brands ...Audi, Lamborginni, Bugatti, Seat, a good portion of Porsche I believe..and others. VW also has a production car that gets in the 200 mpg range , just coming out , in Europe.
