It's pretty crazy that their first step is seemingly to go straight to firing before gathering all the info.  Doesn't make sense....   Sounds like the employees get called into a room, sorry you're fired.  Without even getting a chance to prove they paid?

As in you think they should still move forward with it?

Range Rover GT Is the Fifth Member of the Rover Family—Yes, It’s Electric - Autoblog Range Rover’s Fifth Model Is The Closest You’ll Get To A Land Rover Sedan | Carscoops   Meet the Range Rover GT, officially teased before its big reveal later this year. As you might guess from the name, this isn’t your usual off-road bruiser. It’s a grand tourer built for eating up miles in comfort, but it still wears that unmistakable Range Rover badge. The GT is a big deal for Range Rover. It’s the first to ride on JLR’s new EMA platform and kicks things off as a full EV. Sure, it’s aimed at the tarmac, but Range Rover promises it can still handle the rough stuff – though this is easily the most car-like Range Rover we’ve seen yet.                   I don't understand this new trend of keeping the exterior camouflaged while completely revealing the interior.

Given how the market is, it would be downright stupid for VW to kill it off in the NA market. VW is struggling here as it is and VW products barely make a dent market share currently vs 20 years ago. 

Agree, they're hoping (probably correctly) that most will not notice the total losses if broken into smaller bits.

This time manufacturers are ready, they channel stuffed dealers so their own inventories are a lot smaller. Even when they quick sale the $100K vehicles, they still do better than break even….

GM is spreading the pain over time with smaller chunks instead of ripping the bandaid off like Ford did. I like Ford’s approach better. 

I find the new Scout very interesting, but given the current turmoil at VAG there is a good chance that this thing may not happen. 

finally got my 2027 King Ranch 350 gasser ordered.  Now the wait begins.   Neptune Blue.
