    BS, that’s what happens with shit management. They gambled all in with EVs and it failed big time, because nobody wants them. They also gambled all in with touch and screwed their base over and also they pulled everything out of the cars that made them good cars - and also “boring”.

      Their problem isn’t investing in EVs. Their problem is that their EVs are shit and also expensive so, obviously, no one will buy them. Besides, EV sales are growing more and more each year. I don’t know where you’ve been living dude

        It’s probably not just because ev. Golf has become a high end brand even before that. Not really a peoples car if parts cost a lot.

          I bought a TDI, and was burned by the faking the emissions scandal. Fuck that company.

          More expensive and less reliable.

          I wonder how their management expected increase in sales. Maybe they trusted Joe’s chart.

      When they tried to skirt emissions standards, I decided never to buy another VW.

      Whether they rolled out EVs or not, these fucks tried to break the law to destroy the planet. They can get fucked.

        This is exactly how I feel about VW. Clearly an unscrupulous company that will lie to anyone to make an extra buck. If they were willing to deceive powerful regulatory bodies in a vast conspiracy with the side effect of fucking over the already fucked environment, what hope does the lowly consumer have to trust such an organization. Fuck 'em, they can go out of business for all I care.

          Not disagreeing, but you are describing almost every company or corporation above a certain size
