Yea, but that volume is due to temporary government actions:
Quote:
Volkswagen is benefiting from government stimulus plans for the car industry that have boosted demand in Germany, China and Brazil, its three biggest markets that together accounted for half of all group sales in the first quarter.
In Germany, deliveries of Volkswagen group brands rose 4.5 percent to about 251,500 vehicles during the quarter. More than 160,000 new orders were booked as owners collected generous subsidies to scrap old cars in exchange for purchasing new ones.

What happens when the the government stimulus program and the government scrap program ends?
Regardless, I'd never buy a Toyota or a VW.
