I'm just saying the words, you figure out if it needs to be said!

You thought correctly, VW is indeed very common over here. But take out all the Golfs and Polos and what remains is either old and used, a company car or leased. Same for BMW, Audi and, to a lesser extent, Mercedes and Opel. We produce cars for others to buy, because we can't afford 'em anymore. The majority (>60%) of new middle class saloons made in Germany you see over here -- those are company cars.

well, yeah, I was going to mention the Polo and Golf (I actually had one of each. now I have a 12 year old mitsubishi carisma. unemployment is a bitch, and so is my wife's low salary).

But I really did think VW in general was rather common in Germany, even for middle class.

>> ^EMPIRE:

when you say "everything they build" do you mean that plant specifically or VW in general?

VW in general, at least in this country. Golf and Polo are borderline, but the rest ... adjusted for inflation, wages in Germany are on average 5.9% below the level of 1991. Can't afford a VW on that kind of dough, so it's Japanese/Korean/Romanian cars all the way.

Thanks for the correction.

In reply to this comment by radx:
The clip in the description is quite unrelated. Those delivery towers of VW in Wolfsburg are not parking garages, they are storage silos for recently produced cars.

Both silos are connected to the production facility via an underground tunnel, and if you decide to pick up your recently purchased car yourself, they'll give you a tour, a meal, the works. Then you get to see your car picked up by the robot arm and delivered to you on the ground floor without having driven a single mile.

It's quite impressive, actually. Just like the price tag on everything they build.
