Too little too late, or just in time?
I feel like VW has missed out in comparison to Renault, Opel and all the others (especially China).
Also I wouldn’t want to pump my money into their mis-management, but they are European after all..
I‘m holding out for the Renault Twingo electrique.
It's not available until 2027 🤦
They come up with the 25.000€ car next year. Launching a car for 20.000€ in the same time would be a furhter strategic disaster (from a managements point of view).
Definitely too late. This is the car they should have come out with five years ago.
Yeah it definitely doesn't hurt to have more variety from within Europe since we don't know how much the tariff situation is gonna escalate. Plus VW is doomed if they don't act now. They might still become irrelevant but at least they will have returned to their roots as a car manufacturer for the common people.
You can buy an VW ID.3 in China for 16000€. The problem is that in the EU it costs nearly double that. Not saying VW is doing amazingly well, but especially with EVs they really are milking the EU market.
