VW #2 in the World

Unfortunately VW learned yesterday that they had not accomplished their goal to be the #1 car manufacture in the world for 2011. GM won the title despite exiting bankruptcy just two years ago. Toyota the perennial #1 finished #3 due to tsunami caused production restraints. Rumor is that VW could have challenged GM for the #1 spot this year however their acquisition of Man Trucks was not counted in the 2011 numbers, however will be included in their 2012 numbers. Despite finishing #2 in 2011 VW is still on track to accomplish their goal of being the number one manufacture earlier than their 2018 prediction.

In the US Volkswagen has forecasted an incredible sales increase of 45% over their 2011 sales which were the best they had seen in decades. I think with their new found focus on customer satisfaction/experience that VW will succeed with their loafty goals this year.
