Replying to: m4d_cow (May 26, 2009 10:17 am) I wonder if Hyundai sales includes Kia sales. Replies to this message: toye (May 26, 2009 5:22 pm)

Replying to: ateixeira (May 26, 2009 10:30 am) I bet VW drops. They are too dependant on Europe.   Not really. Remember that VW group consists of different brands. Their sales in east Asia particularly China constantly increase every year, and there are no signs of sales loss anytime soon. For example, many people don;t know this but Audi A6 is the highest selling midsize luxury car in the world, more than even the famous Mb E-class.   Hyundai group includes Kia. Kia plays in the lower economy market, while Hyundai takes the upper market nowadays.

Replying to: m4d_cow (May 26, 2009 11:27 pm) They need to be more successful in the volume segments, and I don't see too many Rabbits or Polos in China or India given all the Tata Nanos and low-priced Chinese cars arriving so often. Replies to this message: joe97 (May 27, 2009 6:02 pm)

Replying to: m4d_cow (May 26, 2009 10:17 am) Perhaps Fiat may get into the top 5 if they'd get their way of acquiring all of the troubled brands ie Chrysler, GM Europe. People are saying Fiat may becom the new GM (no, that wasn't a complement). Replies to this message: m4d_cow (May 28, 2009 3:01 am) ateixeira (May 28, 2009 7:58 am) m4d_cow (May 29, 2009 4:52 am)

Replying to: ateixeira (May 27, 2009 8:14 am) VW has a large presence in Europe (obviously), China, and South America.   China is one of the few Asian markets VW has tapped, benefiting largely from its early entry into the market.   Other Asian countries, however, VW has not been as successful, such as another large market, India (where Maruti Suzuki and Hyundai are the two of the larger players).

Replying to: joe97 (May 27, 2009 5:49 pm) Fiat's been in constant profit nowadays, but they've just come out of a dark recent past. I agree with you, it seems too obsessed on upsizing, not a good thing. Replies to this message: ateixeira (May 28, 2009 7:58 am) m4d_cow (May 29, 2009 4:52 am)

Replying to: m4d_cow (May 28, 2009 3:01 am) Oh my, is it even possible? We all agree on something.   Quick, back to disagreeing about Hyundai. I'm starting to feel too warm and fuzzy. Replies to this message: m4d_cow (May 29, 2009 4:52 am)

Replying to: ateixeira (May 28, 2009 7:58 am) That's easy to do, but where do we start from?
