    The Renault is a good comeback for the classic Renault 5. Now I’d like to see it as the original: an affordable car for the masses.

        Umm… After helping destroy it?! The Volkswagen plant was opened by Hitler in 1938 and running on slave work from more than 20,000 forced laborers and KZ-prisoners, many of whom found their gruesome deaths on the site. Until the end of the war, over 60,000 VWs were produced solely for war purposes - Hitler had promised the German masses a cheap civil vehicle but the VW’s main advantage was that it could easily be modified as a military vehicle. Only 630 civil VWs were produced during wartime - for leading NSDAP officials. Please tell the entire story.

          Your heart is in the right place, but is the US a genocidal slaver country just because it was founded on genocide, slavery, and violent insurrection? Is Germany still a Nazi country because it fell to the Nazis 87 years ago?

          No? Well, just like Germany isn’t a Nazi country anymore, VW isnt a Nazi company anymore.

          Would you not say this if they changed their name?
          (And its not like other brands weren’t forced into the war bossiness.)

          How would you see Fords involvement pre- and post-war?
