Audi is owned by Volkswagen which has been squeezed by aggressive Chinese competition rushing to Europe and declining profits.
Audi just lost a customer.
Another German on the wrong side of history? Shocker.
I am no longer thinking about purchasing an Audit car.
No VW-group car for me anymore.
Check Audi off the list.
Audi showing true colors.
So, no more Audis then.
Will never buy an Audi
Well, there goes my decision to buy an Audi here in Europe!
Wow, that will hurt Audi sales in Europe.
How low can Audi go! Well they just proved it
The Audi CEO should be ashamed. He knows that this timely announcement is a political statement for Trump.
NEVER AGAIN AUDI! I am a trained automotive mechanic who completed my training at VW and Audi. If Volkswagen agrees to this move, I will not only walk away from Audi but also get rid of both of my Volkswagens and my Porsche. What a disappointment! As a German mechanic who grew up with these brands, I never thought I would one day have to say this. Shame on you! And you, Gernot Döllner, should be ashamed of yourself! My trust in these brands has been shattered. For me, enough is enough!
That is a mistake
Well, Audi bets on the losing team.
Will never buy an Audi or any Volkswagen group cars
Corporations show their true faces.
It's such a huge risk to let Trump speak for you. I wonder what those "4.2 billion dollars" and "4,500 jobs" numbers were inflated from.
🤮 I actually hadn't been looking for a reason to despise that company even more than I had done for decades already.
