About Volkswagen of Quad Cities

Prior to 1937, the German automotive industry was dominated by luxury car manufacturers that produced cars most Germans couldn’t afford. In fact, only 1 in 50 Germans owned a car. That’s where Volkswagen comes in. In 1937, the German Labour Front established Volkswagen. Translating to “the people’s car,” Volkswagen vehicles were designed to be affordable so more German citizens could have one. Today, Volkswagen, the largest automaker in the world, seeks to marry the science of engineering and the art of styling to make attractive, safe, and environmentally friendly cars.
