Car giant Volkswagen and labor leaders were set for talks on Wednesday, as company bosses said they would table proposals to tackle high costs and growing competition.
The discussions come on the same day VW announced a 64% plunge in profits and amid concern about widespread job cuts.
well of theres's more competition... be competitive. make better cars, reduce prices, make the product stand out.
During COVID they learned they can make the same profit by ditching mass market vehicles and concentrating on high margin SUVs and still preserve their profit margin. I guess this is now biting their asses.
I look at the VW range and I see boring cars. I love my Passat B8 and the earlier and later Golf, but the new electric range is dull and plagued with problems.
£50k for an ID3 GTX with a little spec is expensive.
62 K for full spec. Crazy expensive.
Aren't those emblems on the flags one of the command and conquer factions
Sudden craving for a Reese's!
