Reuters had access to a message published on Volkswagen's intranet site in which brand chief Thomas Schaefer admitted partial and early retirements are planned.
I had a 2014 Passat and when Compared to a 2014 Accord or Camry it was a much, much nicer place to be, with a much smoother engine. But then i saw the 2021 Passat, 20 Accord, and 20 Camry, and was not at all impressed by the Passat.
VW has done a ton of cost cutting in their interiors of late. The MK8 GTI is a noticeably less nice place to be in when compared to the MK7, crappy touch controls aside. Their whole lineup is a step back from what they used to be.
