  1. Yes, the good premium vehicles such as Tacal, EQS or just the ID.Buzz now bring the power carrier of the company into the electric car. Mercedes has recognized the signs of time and preferred the EQG. That’s how it is done!

  2. Since the ultimate conviction by the EU, the VW PR department was finally pleasantly quiet.Whole sections from this advertising text simply say nothing. Many glorious adjectives do not make sense in a text. Well, “The electrification is driven by reprint”. Great. And what about a clear exit strategy from the dinosaur? “Porsche plays with sustainable profit margins of more than 15 percent in its own league.”Who plays with profit margins has definitely not a clear strategy, because otherwise profit margins would be part of this strategy. And dear @david The service providers of society definitely do not come from an auto seism and definitely not only 4 wheels. For the service provider of a society it needs a little more.

  5. Unfortunately, the ID Buzz no longer looks like this, as in the study: https: // http://www.Car engine and sport.DE / NEW / VW ID-BUZZ-2022 Electric Bus /
    That will probably be more in flop. Auto Motor Sport is misspelled to give a rating to the design. Motor1.COM dreams of all that is only skillful camouflage: https: // de.motor1.COM / News / 516787 / VW ID-Buzz Prototype Series CARS

  6. Nice, a VW promotional sweep more. We become world market leader? Really now? What the? With the grotted heat pump? With the incompetent OTA? With the error-prone soft and computer hardware? With the countless purchased components?

    Can be that VW can create the connection of still reasonably. But world market leader? The train has long since left without VW.
