but will try to make the Old and the New Golf at the same time, to keep a cheap version and a new expensive version without adding undue value pressure on the new model.

The VW group is tentatively selling more cars this year than last year. But it is correct that it will be somewhat less than what was originally planned," Bernd Osterloh told Handelsblatt in a report published today.

Osterloh said the company would build more of the last generation of Golfs and would add additional shifts through the end of this year to continue pumping sixth-generation Golf compacts into the European market.

"Because we are able to build the old Golfs up to the end of the year parallel to producing the new generation, we can therefore fight the price wars without putting the new Golf under pressure," Osterloh said
So, in short, they're a tad behind their target for this year (only 140,000 cars) but still think they're on track to be making 10 million car's per year by 2018.
