Can you imagine if those Chinese factories in Mexico were allowed to flood our market with Chinese EVs?

Eventually, they will.

That was Biden’s long term plan and the main reason for the 2035 mandate.

DOGEWontAmountToShit says

Nobody in Germany wants EVs but gubmint mandates that certain %% of cars produced by any German manufacturer must be EVs. So when they can't sell enough money-losing EVs they can't even compensate by increasing production of profitable ICE cars, because see above. This is why VW is closing plants and laying off workers, not because "wonderful and superior Chinese EV eating their lunch".

Right, those are crappy ticking time bombs. If those start crossing our border I'm going to avoid them, stay out of parking garages, don't park near one etc.,. Unlike the Ford CEO who's driving one instead of a Ford.

No. The German economy was destroyed when Biden and Nuland destroyed the
Nord Stream pipeline.

Time to send them packing and replacing them with a Germany First government.

For some reason, the thought of a powerful, nationalist Germany scares other countries in Europe.

Lol. Just copied this from a comment I made a minute ago. https://youtu.be/fIO0DesXpdo?si=MPpgfa2lHHkFKRAq Norm Macdonald.

Incorrect. That only accelerated the decline already underway.

Germany's main cause of decline is demographic and always will be.

Probably true, but they shot themselves in the foot with the emission scam. They lost a shit load of money on that. Trust is a big thing when buying a car, so between that, lawsuits, and killing future demand it was over.

I haven't seen a VW on the road for a good 3-4 years. You know an automaker is doing decent if you see 3-4 of their models on a 1 hour trip or you see one at a grocery store or event parking lot. Lying to customers and government will not get you business.

Their emissions "scam" didn't affect the end users. In fact the buyers of these TDI Jettas were more happy with the power and fuel economy before the fix than after. Some even held out as long as possible to keep their cars in "pre-fix" condition.

That's fine and dandy, but it was negative press. People lost faith in the brand and new potential buyers stopped looking.

The lie didn't move me at all, as I was never in the market for a VW. But if it moves 5-10% of your sales, you're fucked. You can't blatantly lie in business. Some get away with it, most don't. The performance is a moot point. With greenies everywhere, lying about emissions likely lost you a good chunk of business. Again I don't care as someone that drives a V8 full sized SUV. A lot of people do care.

How much of that is just inflation?

Inflation has been just as bad or even worse in other counties, btw.

Why is Germany so low?
Answer: Because Biden and Nuland blew up Nord Stream 2 that supplied
Germany with cheap gas.

Nope. Pukin stopped gas exports and that pipeline was sitting empty. And then, to avoid steep fines for breach of contract, the KGB fuckers blew the pipes themselves.

BTW, gas in Europe is no more expensive now, than it was prior to that attempt to "freeze Europe", so blaming Germany lack of economic growth on gas prices is wrong (and dumb).

No. The US is preventing Germany from using cheap Russian gas. Hopefully this will
change under Trump.

Fuck no. Buy American gas, you fucking freeloading fucks. And get ready to pony up 5% in defense spending.

You laughed at Trump then, it's his turn to laugh at you clowns.

Nonsense.

Germany like the United States is under occupation and the Globalist Nazis are
running both countries.
