Oh ever – I see bad times approaching for the VW Group! On the press photos the new VW ́s actually always look very palpable – but on the “realistic” photos it looks quite different. See example Golf V:Theme of hangcook This starts with the Touran (no-speaking form), goes over the Audi A3 (cheap-looking Japan-shape / unportable) up to the Touareg (unharmonic rear / too provocative emblems). In addition, the bad sales numbers of the Phaeton (actually a pity – which is The ever-higher selling prices, the internal competition of Skoda, Audi and Seat, more frequent complaints (thanks to Mr. Lopez who already put Opel in the sand with his insane cost reductions), etc. I certainly don’t doubt that the Golf V will be the best-selling car again – but this is certainly no longer due to objective purchase criteria but to the tradition of “golf” and the associated conviction “The last golf was ok – then will be It’s probably this one too!” On an objective point of view, many manufacturers offer more attractive products for less money – especially the French of the PSA group and Renault with its new safety concepts. And yes: Opel is also a big catch-up in terms of design, quality and attractiveness (by the way, I personally drive VW – “still” out of conviction) I see the great danger that VW is now making the same mistake as Opel 15 years ago – too boring products with sinke There are no cars according to the style of Scirocco or Corrado – these were cars with character. One should never rely exclusively on the company history and the effect of the brand symbol.
