As the “people’s car”, the German automobile manufacturing company Volkswagen has been producing some of the most appealing and easy-to-drive cars that the public has seen. Sporting a unique and stylish look (the Beetle), the brand can definitely be considered as an icon, both for the motoring world and in pop culture.

With its roots starting in 1937, the company has found success by providing the then German public an alternative to luxury vehicles (which seem to be the only choice of vehicle during that time). Since then, the company has been developing its “people’s car” as a vehicle that can effectively match up against higher or classier models and brands.
Here are some of Volkswagen’s accomplishments:
The Beetle – probably the most recognizable car in the world, this model has shown both reliability and appeal for its owners. Sporting a rear engine and shapely body, the Beetle is a car that has stood against the perils of time. Its appeal stretches further across the road – this car is commonly featured in various media, both in a comedic and serious light.
Race Participation – the brand is not only known for producing very functional vehicles for the common driver. Volkswagen has also incorporated its technology in races, proving that it is diverse and ingenious in terms of car engineering.
