VW does not compete with anyone in the USA. They are not Toyota, VW sales are global, specially Europe , Asia, China, ......... ., where they give a fig about 'Murika' , the great global policeman .
So much narcissism involved in thinking that the USA is the center of the world and that no company can survive without the USA market. Precisely the attitude that makes USA the most disliked nation in the world.
Common @fintail, over to you
In reality, there is no "clean" transport. It all has pollution attached, even the darling Prius and Tesla. Just don't tell the owners and cultists, although it might not matter, hypocrisy is their strong suit.
They will settle at the first palatable figure. They don't want this drawn out in court. Contrary to what some claim, things that happen in the US will have an impact in many other places, if they happen long enough. It'll directly impact loud ones in the 52nd state of Canuckistan, too.
And we wonder why the rest of the World thinks of Americans as the least intelligent and educated
Prime example is Silicon Valley, California .
I am as American as any of you here. I just dislike the provincial jingoism and flag waving patriotism which is more famous about the average American.
If you consider Europeans as stupid then think of the Freedom Fries and think who got us into the Gulf War mess and the destruction of Iraq /Libya/ Afghanistan and the consequences we are facing now and who is the main supporter of the feudal oligarchy in Saudi Arabia where women are worshiped and respected like the feminists in the USA :
I am an American but I still think Europeans are smarter then "us ".
They are batting 500.
Wait for Europe in 50 years, you might rethink that.
Actually its a bogeyman created by the cold war mentality of the USA and Soviet Union. Now if only USA and Russia stop their saber rattling and expansionist policies in Europe, especially NATO trying to gobble up all the former Eastern block Nations and reaching the borders of Russia, then there would be no need for all those troops in Western Europe.
It is the Military Industrial Complex which creates the bogeyman to keep the defense sector booming and the troops stationed in Germany and other NATO countries.
Typical American Jingoism lol !
Their GDP is $3.8 Trillion. Highest in Europe and fifth in the World.
They bankroll the whole EU in case you are not aware of it
The US presence doesn't subsidize the German economy in a significant raw dollar sense, but it definitely enables Germany to worry a lot less about defense issues. The Germans aren't going to ask the Murkans to leave in our lifetimes. As future issues due to stupid demographic policy develop on the European continent, they will likely tacitly ask for the presence to remain.
And now to move on from the goader who I think was brainwashed in Blighty - no, VW will not overtake Toyota in the near future. Momentum has been slowed.
I got the opportunity to view the World without the beer goggles of American Jingoism .
Only provincial and poorly educated people get brainwashed
Can VW Overtake Toyota and GM To Become #1?
A. Not likely for a few years at least. Toyota may mess up or GM may mess up, but both are coming off mess-ups so it's VW's turn for a while.
LOL !!

Btw, GM has come out to their stockholders promising not to chase market share, and so far at least, they appear to be holding to it. Ford has a similar strategy. You are more than likely to get a non Detroit car when go to an airport rental counter. Near BK experiences a few years ago taught them the futility of chasing market share. It often leads to more harm than good, even if you win the sales crown - and that really applies to most business markets.
So one has to make different Engines for each country
If they walk out of USA, they will still be No: 2 in the world in 2016.
What harm can they possibly do themselves besides paying $48 Billion in extortion ?
Sell their dealerships and assembly plant to Hundai or KIA who are expanding rapidly in the USA.
