Volkswagen Wins At Australia’s Best Car Awards

Having had the outstanding Volkswagen Golf GTI named as the
"Top Drive of 2005" late last year by Next Car Pty Ltd, one of
the nation's leading automotive news web sites, Volkswagen has
now won three awards at the prestigious ‘Australia’s Best Car
Awards’ for 2006. The details of the awards are as follows. 1. Best Small Car: Polo TDI The magnitude of this achievement cannot be ignored as there
are only twelve categories in total ranging from Small Cars to
Luxury SUVs. In addition to this, the awards to both Polo and Jetta
are in segments that have traditionally been dominated by Japanese
brands in the Australian market, which adds to the significance.
Jutta Dierks, Managing Director – Volkswagen Group Australia said
“these awards are significant for a number of reasons. Firstly, given
the market segments we were successful in, it further confirms
Volkswagen's position as a premium volume brand. Secondly, Golf GTI
followed up the success in 2005 making it two in a row with another
award for being a great all-round sports car in 2006. And thirdly,
our decision to introduce diesel (TDI) engines to all Volkswagen
passenger vehicles has certainly been vindicated with the Australia’s
Best Car awards for both Polo and Jetta and the sales of Volkswagen
TDI powered cars thus far.” ‘Australia’s Best Car Awards’ are in their seventh year as a
co-operation between the seven State and Territory based motoring
organisations. These organisations as a combined voice, speak to over
six million Australian motorists hence magnifying the importance
these awards. | |||||
