    I mean they hiked considerably the prices and then wonder why their cars aren’t selling well. Plus VW cars are very boring.

          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.

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