    Seems like a misstep. If the cars aren’t selling, look outside the manufacturing plant for the problems.

      I mean they hiked considerably the prices and then wonder why their cars aren’t selling well. Plus VW cars are very boring.

            The real issue is the pricetag. Most folks as I understand it want a car to go to work and run errands or whatever. The appeal of Japanese cars historically has been their reliability and competitive price. They were,'t really luxury vehicles, but took a huge chunk of the market by being a commuter car.

            People wanting exciting cars are probably looking for sports cars or muscle cars or whatever that VW doesn’t have much of a hand in.
