The new Volkswagen Golf was named the 2009 World Car of the Year during the New York International Auto Show. A jury comprised of 59 international automotive journalists from 25 countries chose the sixth generation Golf for this prestigious global award, topping the other finalists, the Toyota iQ and the Ford Fiesta.
The Golf has sold more than 26 million units in 120 countries, making it one of the top selling vehicles of all-time. The award-winning sixth generation new Golf first debuted at the Paris Motor Show last fall, and made its North American debut at the Canadian International Auto Show in Toronto this February.
The 2010 Golf will be available in dealer showrooms across Canada this fall and with Volkswagen's BlueMotionTechnologies award-winning TDI Clean Diesel powertrain early next year. (VS)
