Two fantastic articles about the past, present and future of “the people’s car”.
The Truth About Cars, one of my favorite automotive blogs, has two awesome posts about “Volkswagen’s long raod to recovery”. If you have about 10 minutes, I really suggest you read them.
The first starts with VW’s foundation by one Adolph Hitler and moves on to explain the history surrounding the birth of “the people’s car”, it’s rise to popularity, the labor union’s stranglehold on management and how Porsche could be VW’s savior.
The second deals more with the company’s future, looking at the partnership with DaimlerChrysler, fixing production problems with the Golf (Rabbit) and it’s continuing success in China.
Great stuff as always from TTAC. Happy reading!

Robert Farago runs an interesting site. It’s going through a somewhat rough transition at the moment, but within a month or two I think you’ll find that it’s better than ever.
