Europe's largest car maker, Volkswagen is looking to boost this year's sales by around 40% in the Middle East, as demand for saloon cars increases, Zawya Dow Jones has reported. The company aims to sell around 16,000 cars in the region this year, up from 11,000 in 2011, by introducing new models such as the Passat, Jetta and Polo, said Volkswagen Middle East managing director Stefan Mecha. "We will eat from our competitors--very clearly we are going on a conquest strategy," he said.
