In March, we reported that Volkswagen was considering five possible names for its Golf-based compact SUV. We also reported that the automaker had turned to the audience of Germany’s AutoBild magazine to vote for the best name for the car. Today, Automotive News is reporting that VW will announce the winner of the contest — which ended earlier this month — in mid-July. As previously reported, the possible names for the Volkswagen Concept A-inspired vehicle are: Nanuk (Eskimo for small polar bear), Namib (a desert in Namibia), Rockton (a play on the word “rock”), Tiguan (a combination of the words “tiger” and “iguana”), and Samun (a hot desert wind that blows in North Africa and some Arabian countries).
