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.
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.
Boring is good. I’d rather a car be boring than surprising. Especially at highway speeds.
Okay, I meant not exciting. It is very much meh.

Well don’t forget the diesel emission scandal. They’ll happily cheat for profit as hard as possible.
