It's been an impressive start of the year for Volkswagen as the company's venerable Golf won the 2015 Car of the Year award at the Detroit Auto Show just one week after it demoed one of the most compelling visions for the future of car infotainment at Internetional CES.
"The Volkswagen Golf gains fuel efficiency, safety and functionality while simultaneously costing less than the car it replaces....If the 2015 Golf signifies where VW is headed the German automaker's future looks bright indeed," says Karl Brauer, senior analyst at Kelley Blue Book, also a NACTOY juror.
Volkswagen is thrilled to start 2015 with the Golf and Golf GTI taking home the incredible North American Car of the Year title," said Michael Horn, CEO, Volkswagen Group of America. VW previously won the show in 1999 when it launched the New Beetle.
Ford's F-150 took the Truck of the Year award at the show.

The day has come that smartphones have caught up with laptops in terms of RAM capacity. Asus’s ZenFone 2 can carry up to 4GB of RAM. Aside from that, it is built with a 5.5-inch Full HD IPS display, 64-bit 2.3GHz Super quad-core Intel Atom processor, dual SIM support, and a 13-megapixel rear camera and 5-megapixel front shooter. Connectivity options include 4G LTE (speeds up to 150Mbit/s) and 802.11ac Wi-Fi. It’ll run on Android 5.0 Lollipop with ZenUI skin layered on top.
The 2GB version of the ZenFone 2 retails for US$199 and will be available in March. No word yet on the price of the 4GB model. It will, of course, be more expensive but it can still be considered a steal with the specs of the device.
