VW is a great in every sense. Both their models Volkswagen Toureg and Passat are doing great on the Indian roads and Jetta will be a great success too. It is nice to know that the foreign car makers believe in Indian auto industry and are launching more cars in India. I read that VW will be introducing small cars to India. But can any one tell if it will be completely imported or assembled here locally.
