This is Volkswagen’s new storage facility for new cars in Wolfsburg, Germany. It occupies less space, is less expensive, allows for quicker car retrieval, and has less potential for attendant-damaged vehicles than most US parking structures. (Cool Hunter)

Collecting your new car is an event in itself. In a fully automated procedure, your new car is brought down to you from one of the 20-story Car Towers. Large signboards in the Customer Center show you when your turn has come. Then, you’re handed the keys, your picture is taken, the glass doors open and your brand-new car appears.
