Fore! Volkswagen Makes 30 Millionth Golf

PopUp600_400DB2013AL00009_smallIn 1973, I had a little hand in launching the Volkswagen Golf. It hit the market in 1974. Today, it hit a new record. I wish I would have received a buck for every Golf sold. I would have $30 million by now. Today, the world's 30 millionth Golf rolled past "Zaehlpunkt 8" and off the assembly line in Wolfsburg.

In line with the green leanings, the 30 millionth car is a Golf TDI BlueMotion; a car that is said to use just 3.2 liters for 100 km, something we shall put to the test a little more than a week from now when I return to the scene of my former crimes in Wolfsburg.
