Here's the email I got from the VW page SiteMaster...
Guess we'll have to find that font somewhere else.

To all who might care:

The font we use on our fliers (which seems to look pretty close to the VW
font) is called Kabel BK BT.   It is a True-Type Font, and I can email it to
anyone who is interested.

Actually, the typeface is Futura. I don't know the precise type foundry.
There are many versions of Futura by many type vendors. I can e-mail the
*original* Futura family. Of course, this is a Postscript font, Macintosh
only version.

Please let me know. By the way, the typeface that they use for the gauges
is Eurostyle, or a variant thereof, in case you need to replicate the
cluster dials.

Best.
