Knew VAG last year, the magic number of ten million cars sold to achieve, this year they did not succeed. You are allowed three guesses for the cause.
Last year Volkswagen AG 10.137.400 cars (@sir_smokalot found, incidentally) to sell, which 6.118.700 actually Volkswagen’s were. This year those numbers are on 9.930.600 cars in total, with 5.823.400 Volkswagens. Moreover, Volkswagen is thus the only major personenwagenmerk (Bentley and Lamborghini are not mentioned) that lesser digits, note than the year before. The precise numbers of each make and the differences with the year, make sure you check below in the table.

Dieselgate, or…
And where is that then? Dieselgate of course! Well, maybe a little, but definitely not more than that. The biggest problems for VAG and Volkswagen, in particular, sit him in the very significant drop in Brazilian (-38.1 percent) and Russian (-36.8 percent) market. That are precisely the markets where especially Volkswagen as a brand it traditionally does well and the other brands, but play a minor role. In Europe, it was a small plus of 2.5 percent, and even in America, in 2015 more VAG products sold in 2014. Even december 2015 was a better month than december 2014. That is about the complete VAG range, Volkswagen as a brand wrote called red figures last month in the US. In addition, many years of stable growth factor China in 2015, creaking to a halt, and noted last year, even a small min: -3.4 percent.
And then the photo above, that are hundreds of Volkswagen-Arbeiters in Beetles that the storm already in 1955 saw hang. Or it’s a joke of your photoshoppende bloggert, that can also.
