China won
>>28011883Honest question - has VW ever contributed to anything in the automotive world? AFAIK the only thing these useless people did remarkable was actually a Porsche project.Oh yes, they also improved the global Diesel emissions testing certifications... Huge.
>>28011913Popularized the USG copemobile that is the "hot" hatch
>>28011913>Honest question - has VW ever contributed to anything in the automotive world? 1.9 tdi but that was back in the golden age of german car industry
>>28011928>same faggot is summoned like a lemming to every single vw threadshow me where on the doll the golf r owner touched you?
>>28011945Nah, he would've at least included his usual "GAY as FUCK" line
>>28011928Kek, "based;" hot hatches and vws are GAY as FUCK, to use the parlance of our times.
>>28011969See >>28011989

>>28011913>Biggest project to provide motors to the masses>Quattro AWD>Mass produced DCT and DSG TransmissionsJust some from the top of my head
>>28012040>Biggest project to provide motors to the massesThat was the Third Reich. VW was just the tool to make it happen.>Quattro AWDEh.. The Torsen centre diff was already out there, plus the original Audi Quattro was mogged by a RWD Italian POS.>Mass produced DCT and DSG TransmissionsThese are literal shit. Read why BMW went with 8HP torque converter auto instead of DCTs on the F90.>>28011938Turbo blows up, gasket leaks.>>28011928I don't think that's an achievement at all. It's more like being successful selling vans because more people can't afford to live in a proper home.
>>28011883They will be saved by the german government, nothing ever happens
>Honest question - has VW ever contributed to anything in the automotive world?Just look at all the coping and seething anytime they're brought up.
>>28011883VW is a work scheme set up by the British Army to give Germans something to do when they ran out of time to gass more jews.It's been on borrowed time since 1945.
>2nd best selling car brand >about to diedelusion
>>28012207the german government can't afford that shit lmaodelusional mutt, our governments are too poor for bailouts
>>28012229>what is momentumdetroit was also the richest city in america, I guess it won't ever be a shitholeoh wait
>>28011992this but unironically
>>28012229Sales in Europe and America have been steadily declining, most of their profits came from China but now that China has its own car production up and running VW is basically done for
>>28012231Oh they can, Germany collapses if VW closes
>>28012241good
>>28012239they will just drop the EV nonsense and go back to producing golf mk7 tier vehicles
>>28012247>they will just drop the EV nonsensejust two more weeks ICE cuck
>>28012247LolLmao, evenThe EUSSR won't let them
>>28012247and will lose EU subsidies meant for green mobility
>>28011883Why is this brand even alive?Germans are fucking weird. They censor swastika on WW2 wcale models because they want to ban anything related to nazi sumbols but at the same time they keep alive a brand created by nazi party initiative. VW is Hitler's legacy. He hired Porsche to design car for people and that's what Volkswagen means.Why can't I get historically accurate FW190 wcale model but dozens of people are fine driving Hitler's brand cars?
they'll never die
>>28012398Those subsidies are clearly not enough to keep the company afloat, maybe a change of startegy is needed, something like ignoring subsidies and returning to be the volks wagen with some affordable thing
>>28011883i think their only option now is live up to their name and make the cheapest shitboxes the goverment will allow them to,EV or ICE
Kraut here. I’ve been driving fords all my life because VW is gay as fuck.
>>28011883how do i fix this? paint chipping on my 2012 sportswagon
>>28014101paint it can just buy some black spray paint from autozone that has the built in primer
>>28014129alrighty, i bought some matte black paint and clear coat, just wanted to make sure
>>28012227for one thing, the beetle was one of the most successful cars of all time, hardly just giving them something to do
>>28014454Odd how it nearly didn't happen post war.A case of lets have the locals make something in that factory they already have that doesn't go boom and that way they won't have to eat each other to survive.
>>28014454This will give you a vague idea how VW as we know it became a thing.https://www.volkswagen-group.com/en/volkswagen-chronicle-17351/1945-to-1949-the-work-of-the-british-17355
>>28011913They make very good value cars. I'm really happy with my Volkswagen purchase. It's perfect for my needs.
>>28012978Can’t be done. When Xhing Xong Car Inc., founded 2024, start manufacturing the same car i Bulgaria with non-unionized workers the choice for consumers is easy in a situation where price is everything.
>>28014170Make sure you thoroughly clean the surface first.
>>28013007Not a kraut but I work for vw. The writing is on the wall and a lot of people aren’t even seeing it.
>>28014522>they make good value cars>good valueYou must be joking. If you only knew what kind of shit is released out into the streets you’d never want to touch any vw/seat/skoda/porsche in your entire life
>>28014522>good value>used Polo Mk5 is €5-6,000
>>28014522>good value>entry level econobox with hand-cranked windows, 999cc plastic engine and maybe basic AC + cruise control if you're lucky goes for 20k+ newThey were decent value at some point, sure. A few of their NA gasoline engines and turbodiesels could last pretty long. But that was like two or three decades ago.Can't really blame all the people buying Hyundais, Kias and Chinese shitboxes.
>>28015895>car is holding it's value>somehow bad
>>28015918My GTI has outlived every Hyundai N around
>>28016819because nu cars are all rentals
>>28016841it's a 2015
>>28011938my cousin's tdi literally exploded.
>>28011913bus rider detected
>>28011938My 1.9 still works like a clock at over 400k km and doesn't eat oil at all. Things outside the engine are not as flawless however, but at least maintenance is very cheap here in yurop. Even if the engine somehow dies getting another one isn't a problem.
>>28011913>contributed to anything in the automotive world?Golf II
Mazda is wayy better
>>28017630enjoy your rattling rustbox i guess
>>28011913>has VW ever contributed to anything in the automotive world?

>>28017669>Model T: 16 million>Beetle: 21 millionYou sure showed him.
