VW has zero boxers to my knowledge today in their commercial automobile lineup.

Porsche has 3 of their 7 models with boxers: Boxster, Cayman, 993 vs. Panamera, Cayenne, Macan and 918 Spyder. All their sports cars stay true to the boxer layout.

The sentence is pretty clear in it's intention that Subaru is the most prolific builder of boxer engines in automotive applications since Mr. Benz patented it 70 years before Subaru sold a car with one.
