| BHPian  | Re: Volkswagen India: The Way Forward Good initiative by VW but then again, they need to develop new models fast. The Polo and Vento won't sell forever and Volkswagen better realize that fast before they lose more marketshare  . Just saying that you target 5% of market share doesn't sell cars. You actually need to put effort. |
