What image floats when you hear the foreign-made car?
Benz and BMWs are imagined, and there is a person who has the impression that doesn’t approach easily in the high level, too.
It familiar is existence [nanoga], and Volkswagens for us in such an imported automobile.
Volkswagens is an auto manufacturer in Germany, and the car named the beetle and golf is especially famous.
The beetle is a great car that is familiar by the pet name of “Beetle”, and loved all over the world not to mention Japan.
Here, I want to talk how the beetle that showed an explosive hit was born.
Beetle’s real parent and [ferudei;nanto] Porsche are made to hear the national car plan from Hitler who was seizing real power at that time in 1933.
The national car plan was the one to be called a yborecedebted by the one of making the people own the car that was the unattainable object still at that time.
However, Hitler’s national car plan was a story that exactly obtained my mind for Porsche whose it was a lifework to make the economy car.
Then, Porsche sent Hitler my plan, started the development of a national car, and the beetle that was a reformative compact car was born.
There was problems such as the outbreak of World War II while developing, taking the shape of the car that would be a national car of a military vehicle, and not extending to people’s hands, too.
However, it was the one that operating the factory that became a mountain of rubble again by help of a British army after the end of the war, and having revived like the phoenix become beetle’s bare-bones models.

A great car named the beetle thinks and the person who floats is abundant if it is called Volkswagens that is the auto manufacturer in Germany, too.
Having been invented as a succession car of this beetle loved all over the world is golf that became the hot-selling product of the Volkswagens company afterwards.
I want to talk about the birth of golf a little here.
RR (rear engine rear drive) like the beetle is skillful in the Volkswagens company before it undertakes the golf development.
However, the new model design based on FWD of front-wheel drive was ordered to [jorujotto] Giugiaro this time in 1971.
The [itaru] design that Giugiaro led designed two models (2 boxes and 2+2 coupes) of 4?5 person getting on with a wide residence space.
And, it became a debut of founder golf in 1974.
In the method of designing golf, the procedure for would design the body later after the interior space that used economy first of all comfortably had been set was stepped on.
Be to shorten by 36cm in the total length compared with the beetle, and a compact body of people at that time of a simple, square box type to have reflected in the unusual design.
However, it infiltrated each country of Europe from release with surprising speed though it was golf that seemingly looked unique.
I think that popularity like any was collected is understood if it is said that the number of the total production achieved 500,000 from the entry into production very much in 22 months.
Thereafter, golf keeps reigning as a bench mark of a compact car in the world.

Golf is in the standpoint always chased as an universal standard for a compact car by the rival car now after two box hatchback “Golf” of the front-wheel drive layout that overturns the image of Volkswagens 1974 and till then is announced.
I want to introduce founder golf (golf 1) that presents all over the world new value of compact car here.
First of all, it is said that this will have come from word “[Gorufushutoro-mu]” (wind that blows in the Gulf of Mexico) though it is an origin of the name of golf.
On eyes to have got used to seeing the car composed of the curve like the beetle imaged because it was heard Volkswagens, the design of golf 1 brought together in a compact square was very novel.
However, this was shape of the result of having pursued compact externals as much as possible after five adults were able to get on, and a more enough luggage space was secured.
Car for export specification “LS” of 1.5L was imported and sold by Yanase in Japan in 1975.
The aluminum block was adopted so that the engine might attempt lightening with the SOHC4 cylinder of side that was able to be deserted in the reception desk.
This engine was developed by the project team that centered on [rudobikku] Klaus who was the chief engineer of Audi NSU, and spoken of very highly from a light, compact thing when productivity and maintenance were excellent the engine.
As for golf 1, a detailed improvement like the change in the improvement of the quality by the bumper cover adoption the scale-up of the engine and made of the resin and the cab ration etc. was performed year after year.
And, golf 1 that debuted in 1974 becomes the long seller of about ten years.

It introduces a so-called golf family that appears based on golf 1 and it that becomes a hit as Volkswagens beetle’s succession car here.
- CABRIOLET
An ..[kaburio].. additional setting was done also by golf in 1979 though a full, open model by whom it provided with top software with high durability received a fevoreble reception in the beetle age.
The safety roll bar’s having been adopted on externals because of the security when turning sideways became a big feature.
- GTI
Have you heard a word hot hatch?
This is car that installs the powerful engine and the suspension that corresponds to it on a compact hatchback car, and makes it to the specification where the running happiness is felt, and it is golf GTI to have established this category of hot hatch.
1.6 Regrettable point in one golf version not to be regularly being imported by Japan though it is GTI that has happiness that is not only practicality such as strengthening, over fenders around foot equipped with L engine, and big reception desk spoilers but also runs and refreshing power performance
- SCIROCCO
The sirocco is a brother car developed at the same time as playing golf, and two door sports coupe that debuts two months actually earlier than golf.
In the height of the car, it is 10cm lower than golf, externals are more stylish, and the getting on taste is sporty cars.
- JETTA
Volkswagens was aiming at the expansion of the model lineup while shifting from RR in the beetle age to the FF layout.
Then, adding independent trunk room to the rear based on golf that concluded successfully and having been developed as a notchback sedan are Jetta.
It was very popular among a conservative person who was not able to become familiar with the style of the hatchback.

Golf 2 that executes restyling succeeding blood of golf 1 to which production has been continued for about ten years and was announced.
Golf 2 that becomes the second generation : as top sales model of the Volkswagens company. Big popularity was gained.
Development had started since 1977 though it was golf 2 announced in 1983.
It was far longer, and spared a lot of time to work compared with the car of Japan at the development period.
The indoor livability and an aerodynamic performance improved succeeding the concept of golf 1 with an advertising copy of “Golf from golf”.
The size-up of the car was used to improve the livability chiefly, and room was born in the width of a rear seat and the space of one’s feet.
76L improved to the capacity of [ragejjiru-mu] that loaded with luggage, too.
Moreover, the cave laboratory of the Volkswagens company (It is said a European maximum level) is used for an aerodynamic performance and polish raising Cd value has improved an aerodynamic making specially rapidly.
As a result, it greatly contributed to the decrease of the noise, the improvement of fuel cost, and the stabilization when high-speed running.
Moreover, it will be able to be said that it is one selling point to give the rust prevention technology, and to have put the guarantee to rust.
1.8L gasoline and 2 kinds of the diesel are added as a Japanese specification, and the lineup is done, and a variegated variation is added back.
It was those days, a bubble economy era, and numbers of sales in Japan were going up of a right shoulder having come in succession.
It will be able to be said that the goodness of the reliability of the Volkswagens company and the convenience of golf is a result of the acceptance to a Japanese market.

Golf 1 had various variations that had to be called golf 2 a family as having introduced.
- GTI
GTI that was an indispensable grade from one golf age came regularly to be imported from the model by Japan in 1985.
It is a sports model by whom the HT type engine with max power 105ps though it is 1.8L similar to golf 2 is installed.
An excellent special seat and sports steering wheel in the support are equipped normally.
- SYNCHRO
The golf synchronized that debuted in 1985 is four-wheel driving model by whom 4WD system that used [bisukasukappuringu] that the Volkswagens company originally developed was adopted.
It is a mechanism that it runs basically by front-wheel drive (FWD), and the driving performance is distributed to rear by [bisukasukappuringu] automatically when it is necessary.
It doesn’t understand with the synchronized of 4WD it if it changes into externals the FF car and hardly, and the emblem is not confirmed.
The price of the expensive mechanism that the Volkswagens company originally developed seemed to influence the price of the vehicle, and the number of sales to be very little though the golf synchronized had regularly been being imported also by Japan.
- JETTA
The Jetta of two golf bases became the one that the concept was made to refine the styling as it was more.
This is because the evaluation with the doubt in externals had gone out because it was a car to which the founder model derived from existing golf, too.
As for the area of [ragejjiru-mu], the fine quality feeling has improved as it is in the fixture and the interior, etc.

Golf the third generation that restyled in Volkswagens “Golf” popular all over the world as a compact car during the founder and the second generation and had appeared came to bathe in the keen attention.
As for golf 3, it contrasts, and the style composed of the curved surface with the volume feature in Sharp till then with a square design.
The size of the body of the car has grown more than golf 2 by one turn, too.
The standard of 1.8L engine whose even golf 2 was a standard came to be 2.0L engine along with the size-up of the body.
It is an improvement of “Safety”, “Quality”, “Happiness of the drive”, and “Environmental performance” that it undertakes restyling from the second generation golf, and gave priority.
First of all, all the safety standards of the crash test etc. executed all over the world were cleared in safety at the sale this time.
In the quality, sticking to only of Volkswagens was thoroughly included in the livability, quietness, and the amenity, etc.
Moreover, the stability when riding comfort and a complete review of suspension driving is improved, and the happiness of the drive has been improved more.
The car making that had considered the environments such as [desuga] for an environmental performance, making of the vehicle exhaust emission, and clean decreases of the noise at the end was executed.
In addition, it positively worked on the environmental protection as a part of the paints emanation prevention by adopting the water-based paint the abolition of fluorocarbon in the manufacturing process, plastic parts were recycled.

It was announced by Volkswagens in 1974, various variations appeared meanwhile though it was golf to have obtained popularity for a long term of 35 years, and the fan was attracted respectively.
It introduces the family that appeared in the age of golf 3 here.
- VARIANT(WAGON)
The wagon of the golf expectation was added as [varianto] in three golf ages.
The rear of three golf four-door type was basically extended, and vast [ragejjiru-mu] was secured.
Flat load room space that improved convenience was achieved by having changed the design of [riasasu].
1.8L of the popular edition of a book will be added to Japan next year though 2.0L model was imported in 1995.
- CORRADO
The sirocco (Introduce it in the family of golf 1) that has pulled a sporty image of Volkswagens completely changing the name, and having appeared as an evolutionary model are Corrado.
The point that four adults can move comfortably in the practicality is a desire work to push the sports color out as it is strongly.
- VENTO
The Jetta of the notchback four-door sedan type completely changed the name to “[Vento]” and it was reborn.
The alias of Jetta was continuously used in North America without by the brother of golf 3 person it the change though I seemed to have wanted to appeal for an image that was more high-level than golf as Volkswagens.
- CABRIOLET
Founder’s [kaburio] would restyle in 14 years, and new generation [kaburiore] based on golf 3 appeared.
It is equipped continuously with the roll bar to improve safety, and the evolution of the electric top software adoption etc. is accomplished.

Golf the fourth generation in summer of 1997 accomplished the debut by the Frankfurt Motor Show.
The concept “An appropriate price of the highest quality in the class” was taken in golf 4 in addition to the policy “All cars for the person” out which Volkswagens had hung up to now.
The advanced technology of Volkswagens was made good use of for the improvement of the functionality and the traveling performance, and value more than the price in which it provided with a further amenity and a high quality was offered.
It was supported by the user of beating it exceeding the result generation, and it ..September, 2000.. ..20 million total production number.. concluded successfully.
In externals of golf 4, it hangs aiming at outside of and features the rising headlight and four-wheel styling, etc. to show a profound posture dignifiedly.
Moreover, the point etc. to have equipped normally standard equipment and all grades with the MD stereo are characterized in the side air bag, too and it is enumerated by the rust guarantee of 12 years (six years in the past) by total galvanizing and having processed the body and all cars.
Surprising record of imported automobile sales number (each model)NO.1 has been left 10 years in a row till then though golf 4 became the final fiscal year in 2003.
It means this is an imported automobile supported most in Japan.
So far..golf..economy car..image..one rank..fine quality..image..change..this..age..become.
The golf family with high one after another quality will debut to the concept “The highest quality in the class” after the age of developed golf 4.

Golf the fifth generation in September of 2003 was announced by the Frankfurt Motor Show, and sales in Germany began in October the next day.
The sale of restyled golf 5 started by Volkswagens Japan next June in Japan.
It ripens further by a reformative technology of Volkswagens and it has evolved to an attractive car seeming golf of the debuting founder in 1974.
V line etc. consecutive from the style and the front grille composed of a curve smooth with the atmosphere of golf left in externals to the bonnet were features, and a passionate design enchanted a lot of users.
It improves as the rigidity is rapid, and the safety side is considered by the technology of the laser welding in the body more than all cars are equipped normally eight air backing.
Another who adopted the latest direct gasoline-injection engine and the first in the class six velocities AT, an electric power steering, and the newly developed multilink suspension were adopted, and ..fine quality.. [hashiri] was actualized powerfully.
The TSI unit equipped with a direct-injection twin charger that became a world first was put on the market in 2007.
It is a system that can not only readily enjoy sporty running feelings but also contributed to the improvement of fuel cost.
This is a leading engine also in golf 6 being generated publicity now though it talks about the TSI engine in detail to the back.
Even if a basic like this mechanism is seen to be succeeded to latest golf 6, it can know how the perfection of golf 5 was high.
