Volkswagen is halving its lineup and shuttering its fortress

05 September 2026
Volkswagen Group’s dramatic decision to axe 75 models and close historic factories is the painful end of an era of unchecked corporate bloat, exposing the true costs of a titan long propped up by public subsidies.

romans used to honor their ancestors..so and so was my blood

germans are taught to hate actual germans
those germans who died defending their country at the battle of bulge.

Vw has been producing very unreliable and very overpriced cars with the seat to bugatti badges for 25 years even if they go out of business nothing will be lost for the consumers.

Reducing part designs to a handful across the whole portfolio of brands will result in bland, pointless badge engineering that nobody likes - just like stellantis

FredSpain, 06 Sep 2026Diesel gate that was almost general on all eurpean brandsThen please check the facts because It was not limited to only european carmakers.
Basically the whole car industry were falsifying fuel economy and/or emissions data and It was not limited to only diesel cars or using defeat devices.

look how far vw, the people's car, created by moustache man has fallen.
still plenty of more falling to go.

remember that your fellow germans voted to import more illegal migrants.
these migrants are basically useless, have very different values like stealing from food banks.
these migrants see kindness as a sign of weakness and must be taken advantage of.

Cut manipulative "brand managers" that deceive and trick loyal customers sooner;
Bring back German engineering design immediately.

I love how European bureaucrats are crying over Chinese subsidy and then It turns out VW received €45 billion in subsidies over the years.

And let's not forget VW is not a new company, which needed support to establish itself, but a company with 89 years of history.

Article needs at least one correction: In terms of plants to be closed down, it's not Ingolstadt in Audi's case, it's Neckarsulm.

The cheater is punished after a longg delay.I am really astonished to see that, in Europe, the economical frauds are not sanctionned as in the USA. The rule there is that the fine is 3 times the illegal profit and that the consumer get a financial compensation ($ 5000 per vehicle for VW).
