Today, the list of popular Volkswagen vehicles is comprised of the new Beetle, Jetta and Phaeton. It was from 1948 that Volkswagen concentrated efforts in manufacturing and marketing the Volkswagen Beetle which was proving to be very successful. By 1978, however, after having had produced and sold about 16 million Beetles, Volkswagen started thinking of another car model that is more updated. A new assembly of Volkswagen parts gave birth to the VW Golf in 1974. In terms if the overall mechanism and the new design, which was sketched out by Italian Giorgetto Giugiaro, the Golf or alternately VW Rabbit was indeed different from it predecessor.
