Boston Volkswagen

No one would argue that the primary purpose of commercials is to inform viewers of a product or service. However, Boston Volkswagen also feels that most would agree with us in saying that television ads can also offer a snippet of entertainment. Take for example last year's Volkswagen Super Bowl spot called "The Force." Not only did the commercial present the 2012 Volkswagen Passat, but it provided a handful of laughs with its spoof on Star Wars.

It's easy to get big-headed and over-ambitious when you're sitting towards the top of the stack. But for Volkswagen, moving up two rungs of the latter and achieving automotive world domination isn't just a bold idea; it's a legitimate company goal. For those in the Boston area who haven't been tuned in to all the VW buzzy, the motivated automaker plans to surpass the likes of GM and Toyota by 2018 and win over the number one spot.

Back in grade school when a teacher made a test harder, everyone groaned. Today, the National Highway and Safety Administration (NHTSA) cracked down on its testing as well...but we at Boston Volkswagen couldn't be more pleased. That's because when it comes to safety, you can never raise the standards too high. What's more, like a straight-A student, the 2012 Volkswagen Passat passed with flying colors.

For a company to find success, it's sometimes necessary to lay out one clear goal. Just throw it down, plain and simple. In the case of Volkswagen, this strategy seems to be working quite beautifully. Company bosses gave Jonathan Browning, Chief Executive of VW Group of America, a solitary task: sell 1-million models annually in America by 2018.

Have you seen the new movie, Horrible Bosses yet? If you haven't, Boston Volkswagen highly suggests you make the time to do so. Now, don't worry, we aren't auto junkies turned movie critics nor are we attempting to influence your film taste. We're simply amped about the movie's star-studded cast which includes the likes of Jennifer Anniston, Colin Farrell, Kevin Spacey and the Volkswagen Jetta.

The fact that electric vehicles form a race of their own is indisputable. But just because they sport unique powertrains doesn't mean they must visibly stand out as well. In fact, the future Volkswagen Golf Blue-e-Motion looks quite similar to other Volkswagen Golf models.

On an individual model level, Volkswagen sales have been looking good. Models such as the Volkswagen Jetta are up as far as 62-percent. No surprise considering the vehicle rolled out on a platform specifically tailored to the U.S. market. But good news for Boston Volkswagen, and for VW fans all over, the automaker has seen a surge in total average sales across all models as well!

Imagine lying on the beach, watching the sunset and feeling the warm ocean breeze. Then imagine crawling into your VW for a cozy, comfortable night's sleep?With the new Volkswagen California Beach van, that dream is entirely possible.

Sometimes if you want something bad enough, all you have to do is ask. VW aficionados took this adage into account last year and requested the arrival of a brand-new Volkswagen Golf variant. Boston Volkswagen is very pleased to announce that the automaker was happy to oblige. The 2012 VW Golf R will be released early next year in the U.S. market at a price tag of $33,990.

In America, the notion of tiny cars often means restricted interiors, little storage, and gutless engines. But German automaker Volkswagen challenged this idea when it released concept models of the anticipated Volkswagen Up! at the 2011 Frankfurt Auto Show in August.

The Volkswagen Up! lineup includes a series of models based on different lifestyles. From indulgent, "far-out" models to down-to-earth, realistic ones, Volkswagen designed each concept to cater to a specific market segment.

After a solid time of testing, the production version of the three-door Volkswagen Up! was released. This Volkswagen Up! contains a long wheelbase of 95.3 inches…
