i read that the big german companies want to charge more for less and keep everyone waiting longer as a matter of course. they also intend making fewer vehicles per year; just charge more for them.they believe it makes their products more desirable and that people will pay for the marque. im not really into marques as such, although they often make better cars, its not always the case.
i remember when skoda were top of pile and vw were way down list.
