According to a German report Volkswagen South Africa will stop producing the popular VW Citi Golf, also known as Golf 1, in the coming months to make way to concentrate on the new Polo and Jetta production from 2010.
"After nearly 32 years, Citi is clearly nearing the end of its life cycle," the report quotes VWSA boss David Powels.
Volkswagen is reported to be investing R3.5-billion in preparing the Uitenhage (close to PE, production site of VWSA) works in preparation for a new Polo and Jetta export deal (left-hand traffic markets) and that will require Citi to end production to make way for the new line.
