    Only if they become loyal to the customers, honour warranty and build quality cars.

    VW Group can get back with all of their brands, but they need to start listening to the market and their loyal buyers.<br>Great video DW team and hope to see video series on European automotive brands from where they started to where are today.

    From India: I&apos;ve been driving my VW Polo 2011 Comfortline 142k on odo, spent 65% of original cost on servicing &amp; it runs amazing. I feel VW is an automotive ideology &amp; belief system, not just a car brand. VW will surely come back stronger. It should be made People&apos;s car again, maybe good quality, mass market, global south focus is the way forward, apart from developed countries. Ford &amp; GM started their IT centers here &amp; though the companies exited the market, VW was a bit late.

    It is strange though, that at moment when competition has been stronger than ever, the VW group has been irritating customers for years taking away buttons and installing electronic door handles, while Audi&apos;s are lower quality than ever. A consequence of management consultants and WFH?

    I’ve owned 37 VW/Audis; in 2023 I switched to Honda. VW has lost its way.

    From people&apos;s car to we don&apos;t care just give us your money. Greed is what destroying the western companies.

    VW has many millions of existing clients and a good dealer network. They just need the right products, with top quality, at the right price.

    I hope the ID Polo aesthetic makes its way into the NA market.

    Our daughter purchased an early ID4 partly on my recommendation. It was a nightmare with endless glitches and quirks. She sold it after 1 year.
