Wolfsburg, November 7, 2007 – The experts and VIPs on Germany’s prominent
newspaper “Bild am Sonntag” jury have decided: The new Volkswagen Tiguan is
receiving the “Golden Steering Wheel 2007”.
The award was presented to Dr Martin Winterkorn, CEO of the Volkswagen Group
at the Axel-Springer-Haus in Berlin. Over 30,000 pre-orders for the new
Volkswagen have been received throughout Europe; more than a third were ordered
in Germany.
At the awards ceremony, Dr Martin Winterkorn said, “Two days prior to the
German launch of the Tiguan the Golden Steering Wheel in the SUV category is a
kick-off present and good omen all in one.
You don’t have to be a prophet: Like the Eos, honoured here in 2006, the
four-wheel drive Tiguan will quickly and successfully establish itself. The
invariably outstanding test results from magazines and newspapers in past weeks
confirm this. We are looking forward to the market launch, because the Tiguan
will be an important component of our global strategy of growth.”
