Good... Let them have it... It seems that the title of "World's Largest Automaker" is more of a bane than a benefit. Ever since Toyota took the title from GM, they've been on a non-stop downward slide.

How has VW beaten Toyota when in the U.S., a huge market, Subaru has been outselling VW. And Subaru only sells 200,000 cars in the U.S. each year.

Ah, thanks for clearing that up. Reading isn't my strongest point at the moment. Got the flu.

You really should get out more often, there is a whole big world outside of the US. The world does not revolve around the United States, even though some Americans think otherwise

The U.S. is a huge market that VW doesn't have.
