BOOYAH!

Sales were down 1.9% for 2007! VW introduced new models, advertised like crazy, and made every effort to sell their crap cars. AND SALES WERE DOWN 1.9%!
Our message is getting out to America! VW cars are junk.
This has got to be another financial disaster for VW group of America. I mean, how many years is VAG going to continue subsidizing sales in America?
VAG is going to have to crack down further on the unions in Germany. They will have to get the work force to actually work 40 hours a week.

    VW cars are junk… but only in America. – Your message contradicts the sales report: Sales are up globally 7.9 percent.

    And why do you repeatedly refuse to post the reference in your statements? It isn’t hard to find one.

    But that’s beside the point (it just irks me that you continually don’t back up what you say when it’s so easy to do so and proves you did the research). The point is: are you suggesting that VW purposely sells junk in America (and Germany, which also reported sales losses) but not to the rest of the world where they are selling fast?

    Or is it that the rest of the world hasn’t got a clue?

    References – I made the reference to VW’s published figures in another post. I guess I’ll have to make the references each time.
    VAG’s profits were dwindling and their stock prices were stagnating until Piech used his family influence to have Porshe buy up VAG stock.
    In a world where Trabants and other low end cars are the norm, selling VW’s to consumers may be a simple task. The one eyed man in the world of the blind is king. When the European market opens up more, VW will have a hard time competing. They are going to have to break the unions spine. They are not going to be able to compete with makers that can produce a better quality car more efficiently.

    References Part II – The figures were posted by VW group of America ( formerly VWoA ).

    The American market is a huge and competitive market. VW cannot compete in this market. There are too many quality cars being sold in this market. With dealers that know how to take care of their customers. And parent companies that do not insult their customers.
    Selling 230 thousand cars in the American market makes VW a niche brand. And makes it difficult to show a profit and have a dealer network that can take care of its customers.
