Die Autobauer in der Krise: Schwächelnde Verkaufszahlen und geopolitische Krisen belasten das Geschäft. VW hat gerade erst einen Milliardenverlust vermeldet. Auch bei Mercedes ist im ersten Dreivierteljahr der Nettogewinn auf 3,9 Milliarden Euro geschrumpft – das sind 50 Prozent weniger als im Vorjahreszeitraum. Fahren wir aufs Abstellgleis? „Die Konkurrenz aus China ist eben gewaltig groß. Machen wir uns nichts vor. Sie können günstiger anbieten. In China gibt es auch den Trend, dass man eher - auch vielleicht mit Subventionen - chinesische Autos kauft. Das spielt VW nicht gerade in die Karten. Beim Massenmarkt ist die Konkurrenz noch viel größer, als dass in der Premiumklasse der Fall ist", so Robert Halver. Der Experte von der Baader Bank weiter: „Weltweit haben wir auch noch den Trend weg von den Dienstwagen. Die Premiumklasse als Prestigeobjekt ist auch nicht mehr so gefragt. Das macht man heute vielleicht eher mit einem schicken Smartphone. Und auch von der Politik gibt es eine unklare Gemengelage. Was machen wir mit Verbrennermotor und E-Mobilität. Der Fisch stinkt immer vom Kopf. Die EU muss schon sagen, was man möchte. Es ist immer so unklar und schwierig.

Knapp ein Jahr nach Gründung des Software-Joint-Ventures RV Tech geben Volkswagen und Rivian ein erstes Status-Update. Die schlichte Quintessenz: Es läuft. Schon im nächsten Jahr soll das erste Modell von Rivian mit der neuen Softwareplattform starten, 2027 soll dann VWs Hoffnungsträger ID.Everyone mit der neuen Architektur seine Premiere feiern. Davor stehen noch Wintertests in Skandinavien der Marken VW, Audi und Scout an. Der Wasserstandsbericht der beiden Partner war auch deswegen dringend nötig, da zuletzt die Gerüchteküche brodelte: Gibt es schon wieder Verzögerungen? Sollen auch Verbrenner vom Software-Update profitieren und was ist jetzt eigentlich mit dem Tochterunternehmen Cariad? Dass die Branche mittlerweile erkannt hat, dass es ohne Willen zur Kollaboration intern wie auch mit jungen Tech-Partnern nicht mehr gehen wird, stellte auch der diesjährige automotiveIT car.summit unter Beweis. Yannick berichtet und bringt ein durchaus positives Signal für die Autoindustrie mit.

Im Gespräch mit Michael Jost, dem ehemaligen Chefstrategen des Volkswagen-Konzerns und Gründer von eD-TEC, ging es um nichts weniger als die Zukunft von Mobilität, Energie und Industrie. Schon zu Beginn machte Jost klar: „Die Energiewende und damit auch die Mobilitätswende sind keine Frage des Ob, sondern des Wann.“ Für ihn steht fest, dass der Weg weg von fossilen Energien hin zu erneuerbaren Quellen unausweichlich ist – und dass Europa diese Transformation nur mit klarer Strategie, technologischem Mut und entschlossenem Handeln meistern kann. Er erinnerte daran, dass bereits 2018 bei Volkswagen die Weichen in Richtung Elektromobilität gestellt wurden. Doch rückblickend sieht er auch Versäumnisse: Eine zu starke Fixierung auf kurzfristige Renditen, zu wenig gemeinsame Stimme der deutschen Hersteller. „Wir haben es nicht geschafft, die großen Automobilplayer in Deutschland zu vereinen – jeder hat seine EBIT-Optimierung in den Vordergrund gestellt,“ so Jost kritisch. Im Gespräch, welches an die zwei Stunden ging und daher in drei Podcast-Folgen aufgeteilt wurde, wurde deutlich, dass für ihn Energie- und Mobilitätswende zwei Seiten derselben Medaille sind. Jost forderte, Deutschland müsse jährlich 100 Milliarden Euro in erneuerbare Technologien investieren – in Erzeugung, Speicherung, Infrastruktur und Ausbildung. Nur so könne echte Unabhängigkeit von fossilen Energieimporten erreicht werden. „Das wäre keine Ausgabe, sondern ein Asset,“ betonte er. Ein weiterer zentraler Punkt war die Notwendigkeit langfristiger Planung. Jost kritisierte den politischen Zyklus von vier Jahren, der tiefgreifende Strategien verhindere. „Wir brauchen eine übergreifende Strategie, die länger hält als eine Legislaturperiode,“ forderte er. Auch wirtschaftlich sieht er ein Umdenken als zwingend: Europa müsse wieder stärker auf Eigenständigkeit setzen – in Energiefragen, Technologie und Mobilität. Dabei blickte Jost nach vorn auf neue Geschäftsmodelle, die das klassische Besitzdenken ablösen. Modelle wie „Pay per Use“ oder flexible Subscriptions seien laut ihm unvermeidlich, ebenso wie das autonome Fahren. „Wenn wir in Europa als Erste den Menschen 20 Monate ihres Lebens zurückgeben, weil sie nicht mehr selbst fahren müssen – das ist echter Fortschritt,“ so Jost. Er sprach außerdem über die Rolle von Marken in dieser neuen Welt. Für ihn wird die Marke zur entscheidenden Währung – als Trägerin von Vertrauen, Identität und Sinn. „Marken sind die Antwort auf die Sehnsucht nach Vertrauen,“ erklärte er. Dabei müsse sich Europa wieder stärker auf die emotionale Seite seiner Industrie besinnen, anstatt sich ausschließlich über Zahlen und Technik zu definieren. Zum Schluss wagte Jost den Blick in die Zukunft: Elektroantriebe werden seiner Meinung nach 80 Prozent des Marktes dominieren, während der klassische Verbrenner nur noch als Nischenprodukt überlebt – ein „Uhrwerk der Ingenieurskunst“, betrieben mit synthetischen Kraftstoffen. Hybridlösungen könnten dort bestehen, wo reine Batterieantriebe an ihre Grenzen stoßen. Nun aber genug der Worte – hör am besten selbst rein in die aktuelle Podcast-Folge mit Michael Jost.

Der VW Scirocco 2 – Das aufregend vernünftige Sportcoupé Als VW 1981 den Scirocco 2 präsentierte, war es fast schon frech von einer neuen Entwicklung zu sprechen. Schließlich war einzig und allein die Karosserie neu, die Plattform entsprach dem Vorgänger und war im Grunde genommen der Golf 1. Zwar kamen im Zuge der langen Bauzeit bis 1992 irgendwann auch die neueren Motoren aus dem Golf 2 zum Einsatz, insgesamt aber war das Technik-Konzept veraltet. Für den Scirocco 2 hat die Entwicklungsabteilung eine Reihe von Forderungen in das Lastenheft geschrieben: vor allem die Kopffreiheit sollte größer werden, genauso wie der Kofferraum. Und das Auto sollte einen besseren cw-Wert haben, schließlich würde der Scirocco 2 schwerer werden als sein Vorgänger. Ziel war es 25% mehr Autos als vom erfolgreichen Vorgänger zu verkaufen. Dieses Ziel wurde verfehlt, sogar das Gegenteil war der Fall, am Ende verkaufte VW rund 25% weniger Autos. Grund waren vor allem die nicht mehr ganz zeitgemäße Technik und der relativ hohe Preis. Daran änderten auch die zahllosen Sondermodelle und die später stärkeren Motorisierungen bis hoch zum 139 PS starken Aggregat des Golf2 GTI 16V nichts. Genau die Motorisierung wäre Frederics Wahl. Ron würde sich schon mit der 110 PS-Variante zufrieden geben. Einzig der aufgesetzte Heckspoiler stört Ron ein wenig, der den Scirocco 2 aber ansonsten sehr schön findet. Was das alles mit Tennis, rissigen Armaturenbrettern und dem Maserati Biturbo zu tun hat – das erfahrt ihr in diesem Podcast.

Description: In this week's episode of America on the Road, host Jack Nerad and co-host Chris Teague test two of the most talked-about new vehicles of 2025. The Ford Maverick is a compact pickup redefining practicality, while the Mazda Mazda3 2.5 S Carbon Edition is a refined sedan with all-wheel-drive confidence and style. Our special guest is an expert on one of the most important vehicles to be released this year, the all-new 2026 Toyota RAV4.

This episode originally aired as Episode 169 on March 7, 2025, and became one of your favourites of the year. We're bringing it back because this conversation on letting go and making aligned decisions really resonated. If you missed it the first time or want to revisit, here we go… Loves, I'm attempting to be useful in two ways today. BONUS. 1) Let's talk about decision making, how to know when it's right or wrong. 2) And how the ego loves to look good. And thus! how letting go of status concepts can be radically liberating and HEALING. I once traded a status symbol (sexy Audi, FAST) for a soul symbol (pre-owned VW, FREE). Turns out, less status = more me. More LIFE. In this episode: How the ego masks self-worth struggles with status symbols The surprising freedom in less (and why "downgrade to upgrade" is real) The three red flags that signal a misaligned decision A spiritual approach to right-sizing your life—beyond logic, beyond labels MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Follow + subscribe to With Love, Danielle on Substack for weekly podcasts, essays + more (formerly known as The Sacred)

Scott Hopkins hails from Hyrum Gerogia his 1956 oval window is quite unique. What happens when you build a Volkswagen that doesn't follow the norms of your typical fue wheels and original paint colors and no customization. Well, in this case it will get you noticed at the triple Crown of hot rodding car show. And receiving a top 30 award that's example of modern Volkswagen builds that blend some hot rod flavor with traditional Volkswagen enthusiast styling. Over the past few years, we've seen influx of Volkswagens starting to show up at some of the hot rod shows and picking off some of the top awards. It's a trend. I enjoy seeing because it continues to push the hobby further into a new crowd that can expand their ideas into other car builds not just hot rods. this is a unique build that has a really good balance of hot rod and Vw creativity. One of the great things is that other than Paint Scott has done a lot of this work himself out of his garage over the past few years. A true labor of love while trying to be different and unique. Keeping true to his roots and dipping over to the Mini Truck side, this split window/oval window is bagged to where it will lay the pan on the ground 17 inch Budnick wheels stuffed into some mini tubs and hot rod inspired leather interior.

#185 - Before longboards hit storefronts and GoPros hit helmets, Jack Smith and two friends pointed a 1969 Firebird toward the horizon and skated into history. Jack Smith talks about how a simple leapfrog relay turned a wild idea into the first recorded skateboard crossing of the United States—and how that journey shaped everything that came after.We trace the arc from clay “crumble” wheels to first‑gen urethane and on to the big trucks and 70mm wheels that made 1980s distance skating faster and safer. Jack breaks down the daily cadence—early pushes, midday pool stops, evening miles—and the small-town moments that still stick: a Minnesota marquee that read “Welcome skateboarders,” a West Virginia diner that wasn't sure what to make of three long‑haired kids, and strangers in Ohio who handed over house keys and dinner plates without hesitation. He tells the story that stays with him most: a rain delay at Yellowstone, a missed geyser, and a roadside rescue that, decades later, circled back through a single email to confirm a life saved.We also explore how purpose and technology reshaped the ride. Jack's 2003 crossing raised awareness for Lowe syndrome after the loss of his son; his 2018 electric skateboard traverse with his wife leading a camper van turned battery swaps into a moving pit crew. Along the way, he argues for the slower road—South Dakota's rolling Highway 212, atlas pages over pure GPS—and why the “real America” lives beyond freeway exits. Jack shares updates on his feature screenplay and novel, plans for a 50‑year retrace in an electric VW, and a shout‑out to the new generation of cross‑country pushers proving that momentum beats perfection.Hit play to learn how to design a relay that works, dial your long‑distance skate setup, and rethink what's possible when you stop waiting for perfect conditions. If this conversation moves you, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a review to help more curious listeners find the road. Which back road would you choose next?To learn more about Jack give him a follow on Instagram @jack_smith_morro_bay. Want to be a guest on Journey with Jake?

Rick Stanchfield has VW history starting back in the 1970's. His passion was fuled by the hearing some fast VWs while slinging drywall. His life was changed forever. He started with a single port engine then off to the races with his new "race Motor" running in the 12's. His path is  long & winding with the likes of Steve Tims. driving for lots of different people like Eric Ballard and many more. He moves from drywall to transaxels. Steve Timms buys the Lee Leighton Oval then they rebuilt the car and ran 10.30's. So much history in this podcast. Crazy stories about drag racing events.    www.vwtrendsmagazine.com www.rosswulf.com ICON pistons here  www.letstalkdubs.com  

This Day in Legal History: John Marshall Harlan DiesOn October 14, 1911, Supreme Court Justice John Marshall Harlan I died, closing the chapter on one of the Court's most powerful voices of dissent. Appointed in 1877 by President Rutherford B. Hayes, Harlan served for 34 years and left an indelible mark on constitutional law—not through majority opinions, but through unwavering dissents that often read as moral indictments of the Court's direction.Most famously, Harlan stood alone in Plessy v. Ferguson (1896), rejecting the Court's embrace of “separate but equal” and warning that the Constitution is “color-blind.” At a time when the legal system was ratifying segregation, Harlan insisted that racial classifications violated both the spirit and letter of the Fourteenth Amendment. His lone dissent—widely criticized at the time—would later become foundational to the Court's reversal in Brown v. Board of Education more than half a century later.But Harlan's commitment to constitutional principles extended beyond race. He defended civil liberties in United States v. E.C. Knight Co., supported expansive readings of the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Amendments, and warned against unchecked corporate power. His approach was rooted in a belief that the Reconstruction Amendments were designed not just to end slavery, but to secure full legal equality.Though his views often put him in the minority, time has proven Harlan prophetic. His jurisprudence helped shift the constitutional center of gravity in the 20th century, as future courts took up the causes he championed alone. Remarkably, his grandson, John Marshall Harlan II, would go on to sit on the Court as well, carving out his own legacy in cases like Katz v. United States and Reynolds v. Sims.Justice Harlan I's death marked the loss of a constitutional conscience—one that held firm against the tide of his era. His dissents remain a blueprint for principled judging, reminding us that sometimes the most enduring legal influence comes not from prevailing, but from refusing to go along.In a massive trial that began this week in London's High Court, over 1.6 million claimants are suing several major carmakers—including Mercedes-Benz, Ford, Nissan, Renault, Peugeot, and Citroën—over allegations that they used illegal “defeat devices” to cheat diesel emissions tests. The lawsuit, one of the largest in UK legal history, follows in the wake of Volkswagen's 2015 “dieselgate” scandal and targets vehicles manufactured between 2012 and 2017.Claimants argue that these manufacturers deliberately programmed cars to meet legal nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions standards only under lab testing, while on-the-road emissions were allegedly up to 12 times higher—harming the environment and misleading consumers. They seek compensation for what they claim was a systemic, industry-wide choice to cheat rather than comply with the law.The defendants deny any wrongdoing, rejecting comparisons to VW and maintaining that emissions systems are legally and justifiably calibrated to function differently under certain conditions for technical and safety reasons. A central point of contention is whether the sample vehicles in the case contain prohibited defeat devices.The trial currently focuses on 20 vehicles, but its outcome will set a precedent for nearly 850,000 claims and influence another 800,000 similar suits against other carmakers, including Vauxhall/Opel and BMW. The court's decision on liability is expected by mid-2026, with damages to be determined separately.Carmakers accused in huge UK lawsuits of cheating diesel emissions tests | ReutersVisa and Mastercard have agreed to a $199.5 million settlement to resolve a class action brought by merchants who alleged the companies colluded to shift fraud-related costs onto businesses. Filed in federal court in Brooklyn, the settlement—still awaiting judicial approval—stems from a lawsuit first initiated in 2016, challenging rule changes that made merchants liable for chargebacks when they hadn't upgraded to chip-enabled point-of-sale systems.The plaintiffs argued this policy shift violated antitrust laws, claiming Visa and Mastercard moved in parallel to implement changes that benefited the networks while leaving merchants exposed to fraud losses without any offsetting fee reductions. According to the proposed agreement, Visa will pay $119.7 million and Mastercard will contribute $79.8 million. Discover and American Express, also named in the litigation, previously agreed to a $32.2 million settlement.While all four companies deny wrongdoing, plaintiffs' lawyers praised the deal, saying it recovers around 13% of the best-case damages scenario and over half of a more conservative estimate. Mastercard stated the settlement supports its broader efforts to increase security through technological upgrades, while Visa and the plaintiffs' counsel did not comment.This case is separate from the larger $5 billion settlement Visa and Mastercard reached in 2019 over allegations of fixing credit and debit card fees.Visa, Mastercard agree to $199.5 million settlement in merchants' class action | ReutersFederal courts in California and Alabama recently fined two attorneys thousands of dollars for submitting legal filings that contained fake case citations generated by AI. These sanctions highlight a persistent problem: despite repeated warnings, some lawyers continue to rely uncritically on generative AI tools that produce fictitious case law, a phenomenon known as “hallucination.” Judges in both cases criticized the attorneys for failing to verify the AI-generated content, calling the misconduct more serious than simple oversight.In Alabama, Judge Terry F. Moorer imposed a $5,000 sanction on James A. Johnson, a court-appointed criminal defense attorney, who filed a motion containing fabricated citations. The judge noted that Johnson used a Microsoft Word plugin called Ghostwriter Legal and submitted the motion during a holiday weekend while caring for a relative, but emphasized that such explanations do not excuse the lack of basic diligence. Johnson must now disclose the sanctions order in all cases he handles for the next year, and his client—visibly upset in court—requested new counsel, delaying the case.In California, Judge Araceli Martínez-Olguín fined attorney Edward A. Quesada $1,000 after his civil filing contained at least three false citations. Quesada admitted he had run out of time and may have accidentally copied one fake citation from an AI-generated web summary. He was also ordered to complete a CLE course on responsible AI use, with the judge citing his failure to stay informed about relevant legal technologies as a violation of professional conduct rules.Fake AI Citations Produce Fines for California, Alabama LawyersIn my column for Bloomberg this week, I examine the property rights implications at the heart of Pung v. Isabella County, a case the US Supreme Court has agreed to hear. I argue that when the government seizes and sells property for unpaid taxes, “just compensation” shouldn't be defined by whatever price the property fetches at a government-run auction. That process—entirely designed and controlled by local officials—often prioritizes administrative efficiency over fair market value, turning tax sales into what I describe as “clearance rack” events.The problem is structural. Local treasurers are incentivized to close the books quickly rather than ensure former owners recover equity. That means the government may undersell a home, pay itself the back taxes, and call it a day—leaving the former owner uncompensated for the true value of what they lost. Worse, when courts treat the auction price as constitutionally adequate, they allow the taker to set the value of what it took.I draw a comparison to Tyler v. Hennepin County, where the Court ruled the government can't pocket surplus proceeds from a tax sale. Pung asks the natural follow-up: what rules apply when determining how much surplus exists? If courts accept fire-sale auction prices as “just compensation,” they effectively endorse an end-run around the Fifth Amendment.As a compromise, I propose a clear rule: auction prices should only be presumed fair if they fall within 10% of an appraised value. Outside that range, the burden should shift to the government to prove the sale was legitimate. After all, if local governments want the legitimacy of a market sale, they need to run a sale that looks like one. Otherwise, taxpayers are left holding the bag—punished not for failing to pay taxes, but for the government's indifference to recovering real value from their property. This is a public episode.
