Is That A Next Generation VW In Our Pocket? Nope, Just Happy To See You!

All kidding aside, we do get extremely excited when we hear about a new VW coming down the production line. Well, right now we know of at least 5 models or variations so we can barely contain ourselves! For this post, we’ll cover the new Passat (NMS) and the impending Phaeton (yes, you’re reading correctly…Phaeton!).

The New Midsize Sedan (NMS) is a codename for a new sedan which will be the size of a Passat and targeted for the mid-size market. designed to compete against the Toyota and Honda competitors.

In an April 2009 interview with Automotive News, Stefan Jacoby, CEO of Volkswagen of America, stated that the NMS will be available in Spring 2011, and will have a price tag in the range of $20,000, and we now know that the available variants will range up to the high $20,000 range.

Here is an image of the new 2011 Volkswagen Phaeton, that was unveiled at the Beijing Auto Show. The 2011 Volkswagen Phaeton comes complete with a classier front – a pair of bi-xenon headlight units, re-profiled front bumper and bonnet, chrome strips and a new grille. The rear features a redesigned bumper, fitted with an intricate series of tail lights. On the inside, the VW Phaeton features a new steering wheel and an electronic display panel that are joined by new trim finishes. It also comes with the option of using, for the first time, Google Maps on the RNS810 navigation system.

What do you think about the new metal coming to town? Look for future posts about the new Jetta and even the Up!…

Volkswagen Kicks Some Tailpipe In March…Thanks To You!

The results are in…and what great results they are! Nationally VW sales increased 41 percent over last year’s March results and nearly 39 percent in the first quarter of the year. Just like here at Roseville VW, people were buying TDI Clean Diesel versions of the Jetta SportWagen which accounted for 85% of sales last month. Tiguan sales in March grew over 41% and you can count on great inventory here as we’ve stocked up more than we normally do.

How can we not be excited about what’s been happening with our favorite German brand? Not only do we have the best product lineup we’re ever had, have you seen the next generation Jetta (NCS, NCC), Passat (NMS) and Volkswagen Up! concept car details? And now there’s spy shots on the web of the 2011 VW Phaeton?!?! These are great times to be the Sacramento area’s leading Volkswagen destination.

We’ve made some anticipated service management changes and are now looking for a new sales manager to grow our customer satisfaction and results even more! Traffic to the Roseville Auto Mall has been increasing steadily which shows people are deciding that now is the time to buy that new car or SUV, or at least bringing in their cars for service in preparation for the Spring and Summer driving months ahead.

Remember to check out our Facebook Fan page and stay up to date with the Roseville VW and Volkswagen buzz…just a week ago we had a lucky winner of a new Apple iPad. Who knows what we’ll do next so become a fan and find out for yourself…then stop of by to see what the excitement is all about for yourself!

VW Takes The Awards, But You Take The Prize!

We’re proud of being the area’s leader in Volkswagen. We believe in the brand, engineering, design, fans, newbies and everything to do with being a VeeDubber. Globally VW continues to grow, with more awards and accolades, Green leadership (TDI clean diesel), safety recognition and more. What excites us the most?

You in your new VW! Seeing the smile on a first-time owner or someone’s 15th Wolfsburg rocket, it’s all the same. You get the same joy we do. As true believers (we do bleed blue!), we also get a little emotional when a Beetle or Jetta with over 200,000 miles pulls up to the service department! Now those are the stories we love to hear and share. Many people are discovering VW for their first time these days, and that’s exciting.

So, what’s your reason for driving VW? What keeps you excited? What keeps bringing you back? We’d love to hear from you here or on our Facebook page…thanks!
