Downer's Grove Volkswagen Polo Is Named World Car Of The Year

These days, manufacturers have to consistently keep their eyes open for the next

big accolade in the industry and do everything that they can to make sure their product wins it. Downers Grove Volkswagen dealers know what Im talking about, with innovative cars winning honors like Consumer Reports Top Picks and the like. With automakers doing everything within their power to strive to the top of the pile, every little differentiator needs to be taken advantage of. Automotive journalists know exactly what they are talking about, so the awards handed out by them are usually the best to have, and Downers Grove Volkswagen Routan dealers now have another feather to put in their caps.

At last months New York International Auto Show, the Volkswagen Polo was selected by 59 international journalists as the World Car of the Year, an honor that isnt new to Downers Grove Volkswagen dealers. In fact, this serves as the second consecutive year that VW has won this award. Hows that for a differentiator? Downers Grove Volkswagen Routan drivers think it represents a pretty strong reminder of why they made the purchasing choices that they did. The 59 journalists involved in the decision making process represent 25 countries across the globe. Not surprisingly, the other two finalists were the Mercedes Benz E-Class and the Toyota Prius, and again, not surprisingly the Prius was not given the award following the slew of recalls.

Were honored that the Volkswagen Polo was chosen by this distinguished group of jurors, said Prof. Dr. Martin Winterkorn, Chairman of the Board of Management of Volkswagen AG in a statement released to the media. After the great triumph of the Golf last year, we are delighted to repeat this success with the new Polo. These automobiles have reaped numerous awards, winning well-nigh every prize the automotive industry has to award. This shows that Volkswagen is on the right track and is offering arguably the best range of products in its history.

In this age of smaller, more fuel efficient cars, Downers Grove Volkswagen dealers are really making a name for themselves. The VW line of vehicles holds true to the aesthetic that global markets are beginning to uphold in terms of sales. The Polo stands as a pretty strong representative of the entire VW lineup and the global markets as a whole, which is why it so handily won the World Car of the Year honor. Looking into my magic automotive crystal ball, I can tell you that the market will continue its trend towards smaller, more fuel efficient cars.

Its interesting to see that for once in my life, the European markets seem to be dictating the future of the industry. It seems like the U.S. is usually on the cutting edge with a lot of trends, but Europe has certainly been leading the automotive industry towards a small car aesthetic. In this case, its probably because a lot of American drivers refuse to pry their fingers from their gas-guzzlers but something is giving, and the future is coming to the auto industry.
