VWoA, are you listening?

PEOPLE ARE LEAVING YOUR BRAND. THE ONLY THING THAT KEEPS YOU ALIVE IS THE TDI, AND EVEN THAT ISN'T ENOUGH FOR SOME PEOPLE. Watch as DCX, or Honda, or Nissan steal your sales as soon as one of them get a compact diesel out.

Sell cars people want, make them reliable, for affordable price points *ahem*Polo*ahem*, and MAKE YOUR GODDAMN DEALERS BEHAVE!

Well, 3193 who's a salesman at a dealership is a member here (and not TOO far away from you, either, IIRC), and vwrobert51 is a master tech at another dealership (in Hawaii, though).

Looks like VW will have to go through a 'GM experience'. It will be tough to see any real change as Lower Saxony is a large share holder.

Wonder how the VW MoonRaker team (stationed in sunny Malibu, CA) would look at this? ; ) Would they really care? Agreed Eric, when the competition starts offering diesel engines in their cars in the US, VW's share will plummet.

Haven't some laws changed around, though, such that Lower Saxony has to become a small enough shareholder that a hostile takeover is possible?

And isn't that why Porsche is buying much of Lower Saxony's share, such that it remains a German company that is safe from hostile takeover?
