American Policy , they tried to be American and lie about emissions instead of actually making their vehicles better , like adding RED 40 to make strawberries more red
What?

The Krautcucks could have built unlimited zero-emissions energy. No, instead they cucked out to their communist masters and made the entire continent addicted to Russian gas, and now they've doomed Europe to become a third-world PvP zone with small areas of Disneyland-like simulated European culture for the consumption of tourists

America should have sent all krauts into their own concentration camps after WW2 ended

What stops car manufacturers from jut building car models that have been proven to work already and not just try to come up with some new model that includes a LED screen with a dumbed down version of Android? I don't see any reasoning to it whatsoever other than them jut agreeing to make worse after worse product every year

Commodity sellers without R&D have valuations and margins that are rock bottom reflective of the cost of what they are selling.
By "innovating" you justify higher P/E so the stock is higher and the execs get bigger bonuses and you get an entire bureaucracy of white collar fake jobs.

Well they made dumb gas cars illegal so they need to add new things required by regulations every year.
At that point might as well redo the design and call it futuristic

if there isn't a new model every year with a new trend people are not gonna buy it. Imagine if you buy a BMW M3 in 2025 and it looks almost like the one from 2016, they would just buy a used M3, its a no go sweaty

Selling multiple, very similar models is a very low-cost way to reach a broader market than just sticking to one.
The reason those cars have those stupid screens is because there are a wealth of cute twinks who c*m their stinky unwashed jorts over it

They lied about their car emissions and got caught. Apparently that guy thinks lying about emissions is exclusively an American trait.

Crappy analogy.
It refers to them lying about emissions instead of reducing them. (as if Germans would take the environmental route when an evil route is available).

I'm not really convinced Chinese companies are that interested in buying it. Chinese consumers largely(correctly) believe that Chinese EVs are superior in perfomance and build quality to western brands. VW Group already tried to rebrand Audi to pretend to be more Chinese than it is. I think GM is doing that too with their Wuling joint venture.

Dunno, they're buying factories here too and really don't think they are that desperate for romanian furniture. Maybe they're just trying to get a foot through EU's door

Maybe yeah, if they retrofit all WV group factories into making BYD or Xiaomi cars I'm going to coom. I've been wanting a BYD Seal ever since I saw the panoramic roof.

Audi has fallen so far behind MB and BMW. Their interiors are shit compared to Mercedes, and they haven't updated their exterior since the 2010s. I was in the market for a compact luxury SUV and the Q5 would have fit that criteria but the styling is just so lame and bland. The japanese are unironically beating the frick out of the Germans at styling, if Acura and Lexus begin making performance level cars near the level of AMG or M Series it's really not gonna be so good for the Germans.
