http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=vag+news&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US fficial&client=firefox-a
Take you pick, you dont show up on google at all there, Alot of others do, have a look at their keywords,
Then make sure you have at least 300 words on the front page of the site and integrate the keywords into the site, Its a good idea to finish the page with your main keywords as well.

Meta tags don't mean much these days.
Try and get sites with good page ranks to link to you.

Yeah I get the impression that's a manual thing? As that description is featured no where on the site...

I believe thats by using a site map?

That description was in the meta many years ago I think, also perhaps has been used in submissions to DMOZ etc. in the past.
The links under are only with certain sites but also I don't think they're manual on account of the fact that they sometimes contain actual feature cars rather than categories of the site.
Just looks like popular click-throughs from the results.
