I should have mentioned earlier that Volkswagon of course could have fudged the figures somewhat and perhaps did. They are capable. I still think they are a better bet in a collision by far than any other car of similar mass on the road.

Their new general managers telling the 60,000 workers at the main plant in Germany. That they would experience no layoffs as a result of all of this. I thought personally was a little premature.

The way they think that has been indicated In many ways over the years. Leaves room for me to think that they cannot comprehend how sales may be impacted.

Once lack of trust in a company has reached a certain point there is no existing model. Or at least I can think of that might indicate accurately the effects.

They could maintain all workers in Germany if they dropped production numbers in their plants overseas would be one possible option I suppose.

I just feel that they may be arrogant beyond belief. Remember the origins of this company and perhaps some residual effects carried forward. They were government owned for a long period. Even today the ownership is not well dispersed.

There was a period there where almost any firm could have owned the enterprise. Might be a few that lived to regret not acquiring it basically for free.
