SVW: 6-million car milestone

Sino-German joint venture Shanghai Volkswagen last Friday rolled out its 6 millionth car - a red Tiguan - to become the first domestic carmaker to reach the benchmark.

As the earliest car joint venture in the country, Shanghai Volkswagen has long been a leader in the Chinese market. It reported sales of more than 707,000 cars in the first three quarters of this year.
