Vietnamese built Volkswagen's to join list

[phaeton]

Actually I think you'll find most of the Astra range is built in Belguim

As for the Polo Sedan falling apart after day 2 thats just rubbish ::pokes tongue::

I believe the reason they have held residuals so high is because no one has driven them enough yet.

I for one think it does not matter where its built but how its engineered is whats important.

Look at Honda most of the Jazz's & Civic's come out of Thailand and they're pretty reliable.

FAW-VW & Shanghai VW are always near the mid to top in the Chinese JD Surveys, Toyota's top

if quality and reliablity are that good, why are there hardly any Asian cars in Europe ?

Have you seen the Polo GTI "Problems Thread" or Passat thread "Rattles" indeed some cars have problems and some don't.

VW really need to improve quality problems like this, they maybe little but can be very annoying.

From what VW tell press and public, they are working on it

Asian cars in Europe are on the rise Toyota recorded growth, the Chinese and Indians are invading.

The Asian cars % in Europe maybe small but the growth is proof that is changing.

I remember reading an article about the Jetta having creaks also the Touareg.

If you read "Rattles" thread in Passat section you'll see the Germans don't get it right too.

Really the whole range needs to be built rattle free, perhaps VW should go back to testing in the Outback like Holden, Ford, Mitsubishi, GM Daewoo, SsangYong, Roewe (Chinese brand) & many others.

they do african testing dont they? and north pole?? stop standing up for them ben,its all profit driven not quality driven,,, offer me a vw golf for $15k,because thats all a chinese built golf will ever be worth(chinese labour costs are 2/3rds cheaper than europe) . they are not building these cars there for the consumer benefit...only for the shareholders.
there is still too much stigma with chinese built products and in their mad rush for profits they are by passing the time it takes to get the quality right.
I never said they should not build a factory there to service their own country.

also another thing,,, if we are rushing to service the asian market in a mad rush for profits,its the beginning of the end for fossil fuel cars because if the chinese begin to consume like the americans (not far off) the will need the resources of 6 planet earths!!!!!!!!!!! to sustain their energy needs(source sbs doco on NOW)!!!! so I hope you guys are saving your pennies when fuel becomes $20per litre!!
