Holy

ENZO WHAT?!

:hah:

wow, thats really something
i work in an assembly plant, so i have to tell you, thats a night and day difference

ahhh... glorified non-union assembly plants. So clean. So peaceful.

:appl: :appl: :appl:

GM, Ford, Chrysler... are you guys listening?

Wow !

..
 

nice plant ...to bad I cant say the same about the car

Wow I'm throughly impressed.

:laugh:

Why would they give a ?

You think Bubba J. Barnsey gives a about 'open concept new mod' architecture?

You think anyone does?

Maybe the ppl who buy Phaeton's.

i would be more impressed if they had monkeys in lab coats

...and they were assembling an SBC...

like they do at the GM plants? awesome

beautiful plant...but who in there right mind would pay over 100,000.00 for a VW???

is your 0 key stuck? i think you meant to say



:smilie_fi

People buying an Audi?

:lol_hitti :lol_hitti :lol_hitti

Whatta a museum!!! :)

that is in nice...a hell of a lot sexier then the ford plant at qew 403 split lol

That plant is a front.

They really assemble nuclear payload systems.

...no joke...

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzing :appl:

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

After work they move the cars off the floor and have basketball games......watch out for Team Germany at the next World Championships.

saw this car on the 401 back in november... beautifull car... but it's too low key to cost as much as it does, if you spend 100K on a car.. it better have a little bling factor

I have personally toured the Oakville Windstar plant back in 98 and to say the least, it's just as nice as this one. :hah:

:appl: :appl: niceee

Non-union????? Are you joking????

If you thought the UAW were a bunch of greedy, lazy and overpaid s, you've seen nothing until you've seen European union workers. They make the UAW seem like exploited 3rd world sweatshop workers by comparison.

There is a good reason why European countries have 10 week vacations, 10% unemployment and their economic grow is virtually stagnant. They can keep their ing communism.

WTF is the point of building a plant like that?!?!?!?! The idiot that thought of that should be fired. What was going through their mind ??

Just imagine how much the cost of that superfluous and redundant plant inflated the price of that already shitty and overpriced POS. Most amusing of all is that no one is buying the Pheaton and it’s turning into a very expensive failure for VW.

I for one, would LOVE 10 weeks of Vacation.

You wouldn't when you'd see the adverse effects it would have on the economy.

the economy, what has it done for me lately if ever......Summer Jobs are almost non-existant, articling positions the same. Even when you DO finally get a job, your expected to work 45-60 hours a week for crap wages or a salary that if converted to hourly wages is still poor.

The people in Europe enjoy life more and they try not to be like in North america, where it's all work, no fun for most people after a certain age.

As for the plant, I think it's an evolution of the high end assembly plants. Volkswagen is planning on assembling high end, and high quality automobiles there, not $15k fords. They also plan on assembling the bentley continental GT's there.

not only did that venture create jobs, but in my opinion it is meant to develop image. think about NikeTown (Chicago or wherever the fuk it is), do u think that store gives a about sales? they are just there to develop Nike's image and how u perceive the brand.

why would they take such detailed pics of this assembly plant? so that the next time u think about VW u will associate them with that standard. mind games, or whatever u wana call it :ohwell:. it wasn't meant to be a super economical deal...and yea, i do agree that it probably has a lot to do with the Phaeton's silly price tag, but then again, Nike's are usually more expensive than other MAINSTREAM products.

my 0.02 :retard:

^ yes image also plays a big role in why they built the plant that way. Looking at how and where those cars are built makes me want one.
But they had to build a high end assembly plant, and I'm sure making it look like that didn't cost THAT much more.
Even if the Phaeton didn't sell too well, it was their first attempt at that kind of market, they will eventually build cars there that will pay for the plant and make a profile

That is a sick lookin plant.

That says a lot about our higher maturity and superior work ethic. I don’t know about you, but I wouldn’t want to live in a welfare state.

You’re obviously mistaking manufacturing technology with superfluous and redundant things like bling bling.

You obviously completely missed the point. Of course a new plant creates jobs. Did I criticize the fact that they built a new plant, no. But does the bling create jobs, no.

Additionally trying to draw a parallel between an assembly plant and dealership is ridiculous. An aesthetically appealing dealership will absolutely improve image and thus sales. However do you think there would be any logic if Nike had such a lavish looking factory where they manufactured your shoes? There is a big difference between a dealership/Nike Town and an automotive assembly plant/shoe factory.

Have you ever seen where Armani suits are tailored? In an old warehouse by what looks like a geriatric ward. Does that degrade their image and the fact that it’s the best suit you can buy?

:eek:

they have hardwood floors.........

Obviously you've never bought/worn a Hugo Boss suit.....they put Armani to shame. :smilie_fi

wow clean plant
