Good news for those of you who can't live without your smart device--Volkswagen recently announced that their new vehicles will be MirrorLink enabled! This technology is not currently available for models like the 2015 Volkswagen Passat, but our Volkswagen dealership serving Lawrenceville remains optimistic that we will soon have something available for us. This announcement confirms that wireless and mobile connectivity is definitely a priority for Volkswagen executives. “MirrorLink is a natural fit for Volkswagen’s commitment to supporting a new age of mobility,” said Soenke Detlefsen, Head of Electric/Electronic Development from Volkswagen. “Now that mass-market MirrorLink-enabled handsets are available to consumers, Volkswagen is thrilled to deliver vehicles to support them right off the assembly line.” The MirrorLink technology allows users to utilize any OS or OEM to access smartphone connectivity features with their vehicle. It is the golden standard by which other smartphone connectivity technologies measure up to, and it is a technology that is prepped for maximum interopability between various smartphones and various vehicles. This partnership just shows how effective allying yourself with other companies at the forefront of their technology movement is. All of us at Stone Mountain Volkswagen are looking forward to more successful partnerships in the future.

Volkswagen has been hard at work designing throe stellar new models for... a video game? Gran Turismo, one of the world's most popular racing simulation games, will soon be getting a few different amazing concept cars for players to try. Based off of the architecture of the 2015 Volkswagen Golf, these cars are definitely not your parents' Volkswagen vehicles. The crowning jewel of all the Gran Turismo vehicles is the GTI Supersport Vision Gran Turismo model, a low-slung, all-wheel drive, two-door hatchback that boasts more than 500 horsepower. Our Volkswagen dealership serving Lawrenceville wishes we had a model like that in our lot! Still, this amazing model shows a real amount of ingenuity on the part of Volkswagen engineers, even in a virtual environment.

Thanks to smart economic decision making, the Volkswagen brand reported a 20% net profit for 2014. Volkswagen Chief Executive Martin Winterkorn has been at the forefront of VW policies in the face of tough economic decisions for 2015. With the help of models like the 2015 Volkswagen Jetta, which you'll find at our Volkswagen dealership serving Atlanta, the Volkswagen brand has been succeeding where other automakers are falling short. Winterkorn told the Wall Street Journal about the harsh market climate in 2015, “We cannot close our eyes to the many international political and macroeconomic trouble spots that continue to confront our industry. The fact is there are large question marks hanging over 2015.” He added, however, that Volkswagen leadership has understood this fact and planned accordingly with a set of policies designed to see profit for the company all the way to 2017. “We can say the program has got off to a good start,” Winterkorn said. The success of the Volkswagen brand is bolstered by its partner brands, so it has a larger amount of influence on the global market than many other automakers. This includes a plan to boost global capacity to five million vehicles by 2019. There are ambitious plans for the entire Volkswagen brand in the future, but their ambitions are being realized now in their current lineup as well.
