With sales of 24,907, Volkswagen of America, Inc.
reported its best June sales results since 1980 and best

percent increase over last year's June figure of 13,057.
Through the first half of 1998, Volkswagen has sold
104,081 new cars, up 50.2 percent over the same period
in 1997 when sales were 69,294. These year- to-date
results represent the best first half results for the German

best June sales month ever for this top-selling European
sedan.
With sales of 1,798, Volkswagen's Cabrio continued to

history. This figure, versus last year's mark of 1,105,
