temporarily closing VW factory

Post by hell-boy »

Just read in the newspaper that VW Wolfsburg is thinking of closing there factory from 18 december to 11 januari. Sales are down 7.6 % :( .
They havenot decided yet but still...

I know the Scirocco's are not build here, but in portugal.
So hope this won't effect the buidingdates for the Scirocco's...

I doubt anything will happen in Portugal because they can't keep up with demand as It is.
What they should do is send a load of the German workforce out to Portugal to help them build our cars sooner :nod:
