Volkswagen announced yesterday that the Volkswagen Golf has been named the winner of the 2016 Ideal Vehicle Award by AutoPacific. This is the third consecutive year they’ve won the award and the fifth time in the past seven years. The award is based on results from a survey given to over 65,000 new vehicle owners through which they are asked to answer question in 15 categories including driver’s seat comfort, ride and handling, safety features, interior storage, power and acceleration, interior lighting, and technology. 18 compact vehicles were a part of the survey, and the Volkswagen Golf managed to score the highest.

“We’re honored to hear that the Volkswagen Golf has earned its third AutoPacific Ideal Vehicle Award in three years, and that our buyers are so satisfied,” said Vinay Shahani, Vice President, Marketing, Volkswagen of America, Inc. “The seventh-generation Golf is the best iteration of a nameplate that’s been in the U.S. for 42 years, now with a stellar combination of versatility, safety features, and innovative App-Connect smartphone integration.”

Test drive the 2016 Volkswagen Golf at Fiore Volkswagen today!

As our customers from Hollidaysburg, Altoona, Johnstown, State College, and Greensburg, PA already know, the New Vehicles at Fiore Volkswagen offer the most convenient and advanced vehicle technologies, like App-Connect and Car Net. Now, Volkswagen has kicked it up a notch, by announcing a partnership with LG Electronics in order to create a “connected, cloud-based car service platform.”

Through this partnership, Volkswagen hopes to achieve three things:

• Connecting Volkswagen Vehicles to Smart Homes: Volkswagen wants to give drivers the opportunity to monitor their homes from their vehicles. For instance, if you are on your way home from work, you can turn your lights on or adjust your thermostat from your car.

• Messaging Made Easy: Although there are already ways to enjoy your smartphone while driving, Volkswagen and LG would like to invest in technology that would make this even safer, both in terms of driver distraction and cybersecurity.

• Infotainment System: The companies will be building a system that supports the features mentioned above and can easily run all of the functions and features.

Keep up with our blog for more information on this exciting partnership!
