Nije sasvim tacno. Mislim da cemo razjasniti opciju "spustanja gasa", posto nema veze sa vozilima ali i "ima veze" sa vozilima, indirektne, ali cvrste, odnosno sa kreditima i pozajmljenim novcem koji koriste kompanije.
VW je ti samo "proizvod" sopstvene drzave, nevezan sa kvalitetom vozila, vec sa kvalitetom "kreditnog rejtinga" Nemacke.
Sto im omogucava da SKUPLJE prodaju svoje modele, ali pod POVOLJNIJIM kreditnim uslovima.

The borrowing costs of big companies tend to track the sovereign debt markets. A company based in a country with a top credit rating will have a huge advantage over a competing company based in a country with a lower credit rating, even if the companies sell their products in the same markets. Take Germany. Thanks to its safe-haven status, Germany could borrow 10-year money at 1.7% in January. At the same time, Italy had to pay 4.3%, Spain 5.2%, Britain 2.1% and France 2.3%.
Which brings us to VW. It wants to displace Toyota as the planet’s No. 1 carmaker, and it can borrow at rock-bottom rates. The coupon on the five-year bonds that VW sold last year was about 1.875%. At about the same time, France’s Peugeot Citroën was paying 5.625% and Italy’s Fiat, the controlling shareholder of Chrysler, was paying 7.75% on a four-year bond.
I tu negde leze "profiti", kolicina prodaje..itd..sto nema dirrektne veze sa kvalitetom ili inzenjeringom vozila, vec statusom Nemacke na finansijskom trzistu.
Tako da se moze izvesti trivijalan zakljucak, da nije "nemacki" automobil "bolji", od konkurencije, vec je povoljnije kreditiranje, sto otvara finansijski benefit za korisnika.
Tako da su, integralno, drugi bolji, tehnicki, ali im to predstavlja finansijsku glavobolju, nasuprot konfekcijskim vozilima sa povoljnim kreditom, koja gomilaju ogroman profit...

The aggressive financing, which has helped Volkswagen lift its share of Western Europe's car market to nearly a quarter from 20% when the debt crisis erupted three years ago, shows how the crisis is re-carving the continent's corporate landscape. Volkswagen's borrowing costs have narrowed to a third of those at competitors such as Fiat and Peugeot in recent bond sales.

(Reuters) - Italian car maker Fiat's (FIA.MI) chief executive Sergio Marchionne accused German rival Volkswagen (VOWG_p.DE) of being too aggressive in its pricing strategy, when conditions are already tough in the European auto industry.
"It's a bloodbath of pricing and it's a bloodbath on margins," he was quoted as saying by the International Herald Tribune on Thursday.
Marchionne, who is also head of U.S. automaker Chrysler, called for the European Commission to step in and help the sector face its huge overcapacity problems, the paper said.
"What they should do is coordinate a rationalization of the industry across the producing companies," he said. "The ones that really have not acted on this are the French and the Germans, who have not taken out any capacity at all."
Results from European mass-market car makers this week are set to mirror the region's debt crisis as Germany's Volkswagen weathers the deepening slump while peers PSA Peugeot Citroen, Renault and Fiat struggle with plunging Mediterranean sales.
Itd...
Meni lici na domace tajkune, kojima je omoguceno kreditiranje uz "zalog serpi", a na kraju ispadnu "privrednici"..duzni milione evra, a "uspesni"..
Sto je nesumnjiv uspeh VW-a(koji naravno nisu duzni, vec plivaju u parama), ali Nemacke pre svega, na finansijskom polju...dok ne zadjemo u tehniku...

koja je na trzistu izgleda vazna samo kod onih koji se bore u atmosferi finansijskih transakcija...
P.S.
Rat se razbuktava(o) skoro kao u Ukrajini..

Ali je to sve poprilicni off, mada cisto da razjasnimo odakle nastaju razne "legende" o VW-u...da nisu bas tehnicki "herojske"...
