In this time everything in Germany was under the control of the Nazis. So you can call every german company a Nazi company. And that is absolutly not true!!!

      Well, Wolfsburg was called after „Wolf“ because it was Adolf‘s nickname. So VW has more national-socialist roots than many other companies. But owing a VW Golf myself (best car I ever had after my Passat) I must say I don‘t care because my car was built and developed by young people that were born after the war and are not Nazis. The descendants of old Nazi-families today in Germany (like SS) are very often red-green leftists who hate cars.

      @@thatbants8510 Actually, it IS true - seriously, Google "who owns VAG", and you'll discover that Porsche SE owns 31.2 percent of VAG, which gives it control of 50.7% of the voting rights.
      Because, while there has never been a "Volkswagen Family", there most certainly has been, and still is, a Porsche family.

      ​@@richardsmart9331 You are right, but not entirely, they own each other vice versa if you will. The car manufacturer Porsche AG is 100% owned by the Volkswagen AG, and the Porsche Holding SE has control over 50.7% of the voting rights, as you already said.
      BUT the Porsche SE is not the same as the car manufacturer and the Porsche SE, does not have any direct control over Porsche AG. Many managers change companies very frequently.The Porsche SE today is like an Overhead Company of Volkswagen, similar to the Google- Alphabet Situation for example.
      Even tho on paper Porsche SE owns Volkswagen, in reality Volkswagen was the one to came up on top of ownership conflict of 2009.
      In the end it was more a merge than a take over by Porsche, because the Board of Porsche SE is now filled with mostly former Volkswagen Executives.
      Basically it was a conflict between the families Porsche and I could not find any English links, but the description on the German Wikipedia explains it quite well.
      So your " Porsche owns Volswagen/ Audi just sayin' " does not really reflect the reality.

      nonconformist, while I agree that it's true for everything, not ever manufacturer can claim they mastered car manufacturing like Germans and Japanese have. Indians, Russians, Chinese can try their hardest to build extremely reliable modern cars but still fail - so they're just unable, not doing it on purpose.

    Im Russian, but you can't seriously say that Ferdinand Porsche was a monster for following Hitler. Hitler was Germany's leader at the time and it doesn't matter what country you're in, you will be proud to make vehicles for your country. Porsche was a mechanical genius and designed wonderful vehicles, which included cars and engines for military application. He did what he loved and died doing exactly that.

      People who talk about the political views of historical figures from Nazi-Germany usually forget or neglect that back then, the political and social views of most people outside of Germany weren't much different.
      The average citizen outside of Germany was just as nationalistic, racist, antisemitic and fashistoid (in the sense of wanting "strong leadership") as any German. Nobody ever talks about the political opinions and social views of historical figures like some famous American war time general, or some company founder of the time.
      Retroactively making this a war between "Good" and "Evil" is just silly and atavistic.
      Fact is, American people didn't protest any more than their German counter parts when government agents came to haul their Japanese neighbors off to the internment camps. Who cared about what was going on in those camps? Would people have made much of a stink if years later they would have gotten the news that their Japanese neighbors wouldn't come back from the camps because they unfortunately died of some disease, or had to be shot in a violent revolt, or something?
      It was sheer luck that "the best generation" of Americans didn't become reviled "accomplices" in a genocide, as Germans of the time did become. They didn't do any more than the Germans to prevent it. They trusted their government and the media just as much.
      It is easy to point fingers and feel morally superior over people who lived almost 100 years ago and believed what the media and their government told them. It is embarrassing when we do it, we modern people, who live in the age of the internet and still start wars under false pretenses and let simple propaganda and jingoistic patriotism manipulate us without trouble.

The fact is, without Volkswagen, the whole northern german economy would've broken down after WW2, and right now, Volkswagen is the best employer you could wish for, with a strong workers council and great working conditions. It says a lot, that not a single employee was fired because of the aftermath of Diesel Gate. So thank you, I'm definitely going to share this video here in Wolfsburg

    VW T4 Multivan from 1994 here. Best car for a roadtrip, period. We have almost 900 000km with it and the only major part I had to replace was the gearbox, but that was mostly my fault, because I didn't notice there was an oil leak and drove it on dry. Other than than, I've had no major problems whatsoever with it, and everything is designed to be easily accessible and replaced on the go, something most other car brands don't really recognize as a thing.

      Right now it's at ~850k but we're going on a ski trip throughout Europe next month and after that to mount Elbrus in Russia, so we'll probably round it out by spring.
      We also used it as a delivery vehicle (with the seats and floor carpet removed) for about 10 years, and that's how it got most of its mileage. Still in pretty good shape though, now that we have actual delivery trucks, we use it for family road trips around europe
      ussia
      orth Africa\the middle east (not anymore though, things got a little too heated). Anyways, it's still in pretty good shape. I'm honestly surprised at the sturdiness of the engine, maybe we just got uber lucky with our model, maybe it's just that good.
      The worst part about it right now is the aging steel. Because in my country the roads are salted in the winter (and it hasn't really been kept in a garage for most of its life), the rust is starting to pop up quite a lot under the chassis and the window seals and I have to repaint it basically every spring to keep it from decaying and leaking.
      It's quite fun though, and car paint is cheap, so I don't mind. :D

      Valid point. The name Käfer was a wise conceptual marketing strategy. Ferdinand overtly named the car based on it's distinct shape, which defused criticism for his bug like design. Post WW II, VW knew this brilliant marketing strategy would have been lost in translation from German to English.

I also enjoyed making this one as it brought back keen memories of Need for Speed Porsche 2000, the game that first really got me in to cars.

    Giorgetto Giugiaro - founder of Ital Design - designed the first generation VW Golf, Passat and Polo. Later on he also designed the Fiat Panda and Uno. All models representatives of the idea of a 'people's car'. I really liked his minimalistic, straightforward and functional designs.

    I'm a factory trained Grand Master GM technician and all I drive are 'Dubs.... Always have and always will. Their essence of engineering design and interchangeability of parts along a global vehicle platform is what every other manufacturer strived for, continues to strive for and always comes short of. Admititly, VW corporate are a bunch of cock suckers to deal with regarding any quality and or safety defects but at the end of the day I always have a shit faced grin on me when I strut out to my Passat, turn the key and that little 4 banger turbo charged marvel of engineering perfection comes to life and just purrs..... I open my moon roof, crank some tunes, turn on my AC, set my heated seats to 2, spark up a cigar and just melt into those perfectly engineered seats and enjoy the interior fit and finish and the luxury ride at a bargain basement price and just decompress on my voyage home.

    *fun fact:* Volkswagen currywurst is a brand of sausage manufactured by the Volkswagen car maker since 1973. It is manufactured at the company's Wolfsburg plant and sold in restaurants in its six German factories. The currywurst are also sold externally at supermarkets and football stadiums and given away to Volkswagen customers. The sausage is branded as a "Volkswagen Original Part" and has been given the part number *199 398 500 A.* The product has been described as the most produced of any of Volkswagen's parts, some 6.81 million sausages being manufactured in 2018. In many recent years the company has produced more sausages than cars.
