Since the first Golf rolled off the assembly line in late March 1974, Volkswagen has built more than 37 million units. It’s by far the company’s most popular car ever, comfortably surpassing the Beetle (21.5 million) and the Polo (20 million). But the once-dominant Golf may be past its prime. Production has dropped sharply in recent years, according to a presentation by the works council at the Wolfsburg site.
