DETROIT (Reuters) - Volkswagen (VOWG.DE: Quote, Profile, Research), the world’s fourth largest carmaker, increased group vehicle sales by 7.9 percent to a record 6.189 million units last year thanks to growth at all 8 brands and forecast a further gain for 2008.

“There will be growth but whether it will be 8 percent again, I cannot say,” Chief Executive Martin Winterkorn told reporters at the Detroit auto show.
