I thought German engineering was the bestThey are about to lay off 100,000 employees due to low profits
>>544158592BMW is the new VW.
Their cars are shit and Europe as a whole is not a good manufacturing environment. I'm sure there's plenty of room for them in our hyper competitive public sector and service economy.
>>544158592ugly shit cars for retards. only losers drive VW.
>>544158738I absolutely love my TDI. Comfy large sedan powered by a 2 liter turbo diesel. I get over 50 mpg on long trips and because I deleted the cucked emissions equipment it makes stinky exhaust on all the normies behind me.
>>544158946>I absolutely love my TDIyou are a homosexual.
>ahem low profitsEverything happening to VW is a result of bad policies and unionized wagies that dont want to workWould they take a pay cut and more hours to keep their job and the whole plant? No
>>544159061Promise you I have more children than you do faggot. A modified TDI humiliates faggots when you out race them at lights and is fuel efficient. Its literally the superior choice. If I loved wasting money I'd get a BMW 335D and build a 600HP monster that loves to break down, because BMW.
>>544158592EU regulations
>>544158592>I thought German engineering was the bestYou fell for one of the oldest memes.
>>544158738Hapas are subhuman
>>544158592They hired libtards for their designer department ,just like bmw,a very stupid mistake . The secret is to make good looking cars, nobody cares about engines in the 21st cent,look at Apple. When you have a planet full of low attention span impulsive apes,you invest in etiquete,appearance just like women who use makeup . Americans know this ,their products are all about the wrapping design ,that's what sells.
>>544158592For me it was the lying to their customers about the clean diesel shit >oh that’s the regulators’ faultFuck the regs, VW lying to their customers was a Jew move and they deserve to fail
>>544159446Their purpose was to save German obsolete ass.Of course it failed spectacularly (like all germ plans do in the end).
>>544159434your kids are ashamed that you drive a homosex car.
>>544158592They forgot what the V stands for.
>>544158592Would buy again if they brought back their basic air cooled Bug.
>>544159838But how would it increase their margins?
>>544158592Its german, they are behind on innovation and slow yo adapt.
>>544159412Nah german engineering is deliberately overcomplicated and obtuse.
>>544158592its too expensive. thats why no one is buying
>>544158707>Their cars are shit and Europe as a whole is not a good manufacturing environment.This.>>544158738>ugly shit cars for retards. only losers drive VW.this. Once they tried to remove 45 gallon per hour diesel cars from USA, by suing for a fake "green" standard. And then a random hail storm hit a VW factory in USA, absolutely randomly.
>>544158738i can just tell what kind of person you are by this picture
>>544160237no u cant
>>544158592when they got caught nerfing their emissions I knew...
>>544158592>wherewe have seen this movie before pedro
>>544158592Great car. Would recommend. Aluminum body and tank of an engine. Comfy air ride
>>544160351This
>>544158592>due to low profitsit's a fucking mystery
I know a dude who went to school in the 1990s to become a VW mechanic (yes they have their own schools) and it was kind of a big investment and he later switched to Toyota because VW is both ass, and hurting financially.A certified top tier VW trained VW mechanic's advice for car buying? "Buy a Toyota."
>>544158592>German engineering was the bestYou answered your own question, WAS the best.
>>544159412Couple hundred thousands of Germans were subsidized by workers from other countries so SPD politicians could win elections, lmao
>>544158592Announcing to the world that they arent going to produce motors and will only invest into e-mobility. They already back paddled, but it is to late. The damage was done. A company who says they arent going to produce the product they are good at making, will be studied in lectures in economy schools. And yes, it was during the green retardation phase.
>>544158592>Where did VW go so worng?Overpriced obsolete designsForced customer retentionElectronics dependant maintenance opsOvercomplicated electronic and featuresLow rust proofing quality on newer modelsLow quality to price ratios interiorsLack of features for a high base priceHigh price for optional packages.Inadequate market adaptabilityBEING ARROGANT RETARDED GERMOIDS
>>544160883>Aluminum bodyGalvanic corosion>tank of an engine. Picrel. Naturally it's at the back.>Comfy air rideRubber bellows dry and crackExpensive as fuck to replaceWere you being sarcastic or just well poisoning?
Diesels.
everything about modern cars is a total humiliation so car culture is dying more every year. they went all in on boomers and old people with money and that was a retarded decision meanwhile shitty dacia makes simple cars for poorfags and is hitting record sales with its shitty sandero every year. people gave up on all your car shit long ago, all they want now is cheap and working and thats simply not something vw offers at all anymore. its literally this simple: dont make cars for boomers. make cars for poor people. thats everything.
>>544158592I THOUGHT MASS MIGRATION WAS GOOD FOR THE ECONOMY
>>544158592China is doing to the German auto industry what Germany did to the Greek auto industry. LOLLLOLOLOLOOLOLOL
>>544164520>the Greek auto industry
>>544158592vw has been shit for decades now.Last time I enjoyed being in one was over 20 years ago
ExpensiveOverengineered for safety and environmental concernsBreak down all the time because too much bullshit and moving partsExpensiveEV technology which doesn't work
>>544158592They just restructuring into Volkswaffen
>>544159611No, they lied about their purpose so idiots would back them. Their purpose is just like all regulations from leftists. To shut down the national market and let the globalists win. Leftists are OWNED down to their BONES by China and globalists that profit off that exploitation.
>>544158592around the late 90s to mid 2000s
>>544162899Lol
>>544159434>Promise you I have more children than you do faggotthis does not necessarily make you less homo>>544159061and this anon is definitely not entirely wrong, either
>>544160208>Europe as a whole is not a good manufacturing environment.Can someone explain what this means?
>>544164733that, and the generation before is peakthen it became shit, and shittier>>544161563>Toyotais basically japanese VW, who unlike the german original, didnt have their heads up their asses huffing their own farts, who decided to turn an every-man car company into a failed luxury segment car company, believing it to be their duty to compete against beamers and mercs, and not just fucking opelin other words, VW was doomed as soon as it lost its "bodenständigkeit", which happened around >>544165048
>>544158707Its highly regarded here, I think because the ones here are made here. I have a 2014 VW that still runs like the day I got it.
>>544158592most germans are gone, it's turkmany now.
Btw redpill me on modern Chinese cars. Those Chery, Haval, BYD etc. Are they reliable? Surely China realises that if their cars aren't reliable their car industry is dead.
>>544164405My ideal car would be a 75-85 Mercedes or Toyota Corolla, with today's safety features and fuel efficiency etc. Love those designs.
>>544166476They aren't generally concerned with reliability since the CCP forces the populace to buy them anyway. I have actually been in a BYD and it was about what you'd expect, modern looking but the interior felt pretty cheap. Probably OK if you are looking for a short commute daily driver, but not if you do frequent longer drives.
>>544166799They aren't made for reliability. If China wants to scrap them all they will. Its about developing industry. At the same time there is no secret sauce. They could decide to make them reliable and repairable.
>>544166799What's a good reliable but also comfortable vehicle if you want to drive for a long time? Is there any for under 40k?
>>544167211But how will they develop industry if the 2nd most important part of a car, its reliability, isn't good>>544167280Check out some Honda's. Even as far back as 2008 they have good rides. Then some good Nissan, Hyundai's, Chevy's too from say 2010-2017. Those are reliable and safe.
>>544167475Uh, of course these won't quite be on the level of new Toyota's and Honda's. But they will be good and a good price. Oh Mazda's are also very reliable, possibly the most in the world if I'm not mistaken.
>>544167612I don't know what the used vehicle market is like in SA, but in North America it quite rough right now. The days of buying a good used vehicle for an affordable price are mostly over.
>>544159061No you are. He isn't in Germany and just thinks about mechanics and whatever. You think about what your "auto motor bild" says. Im ernst, halt einfach dein maul du Affe, du hast nichtmal ein Auto.
>>544158738Antifa cunt.
>>544162899Pretty sure that's a gasoline. The 4.2L V8 by audi. Not a simplistic Diesel engine.
>>544159532>>I thought German engineering was the best>You fell for one of the oldest memes.Oooh anon at least try a new one. You are butthurt so much it's unreal. We could pronounce that that water is wet and you poolack would cry and screech. At least get real. Dumb faggot poolack.
>>544168446>simplistic>volksvaginaPick one faggothttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7VIAdyyXWgQ&pp=ygUONC4yIHRkaSB0aW1pbmc%3DBetter?
>>544169170>>544168446You can see the injectors and the vgt picrel.Same for the 3.0 tdi
>>544162899Seriously man. Wtf is that? Get your shit together Germany. We have already perfected the V8 here in America, just use those.
>>544158592VW needs to open up their electronics to vehicle owners again, like the Mk6, Mk7, and Mk7.5 was. All VW owners of that era need to get Ross-Tech's HEX-v2 + VCDS. VW's MQB era was a very malleable era of vehicle, and VCDS gave you access to so, so much of the vehicle's electronics and configuration!
>>544158592WE DONT WANT LECTRIC FUCKIN CARS WITH A TABLET AND 10 SCREENS, GIVE US REGULAR GAS CARS THAT ARE CHEAP AS FUCK
>>544160116Those plants listed in Germany, Portugal, and China are all Volkswagen plants. They're all making the exact same car.
