Germans are getting reemed by the Chinese for several reasons:

1) The advantage they had in complex engineering such as engines and gearboxes are not applicable to EV's - EV's are very much less complex things to design. The only really clever bit is the battery... and the Chinese developed the battery tech to start with.

2) Germans (and other European car makers) made a massive mis step in EV's by making them premium (priced) vehicles and not focusing on cheap mass market first. They ended up with millions of unsold vehicles which in turn dragged down their financial state.

3) The Germans assumed the Chinese market would want their cars and not Chinese made ones and similarly assumed Europeans would feel the same.

Basically German ubermensch superiority hubris has killed them.... and it probably has killed them.

Golf mk7 / Quick Xenon question!
« Last post by niceguy235 on Today at 08:14 »
Morning guys,

Not strictly GTi but booking at a 2014 Golf GT Tech and i am trying to work out if these are factory fit Xenons, or some aftermarket fitment type as i cannot find any other pictures on the web, or a VW brochure.

Never seen L Shaped DRLs on these, just the 'U' shape.

Picture aint great as i grabbed a screen shot



Cheers!





Although looking at this pic, it may be U shaped and its the front angle that doesnt show them properly?

Finally got round to fixing these bloody clips I snapped off when retrofitting my dash cam and rear view camera. Surely these could’ve been designed a bit better but hey ho - no more soggy headliners.

Centre speaker ordered 👍😊
I really appreciate your hard work on devising the upgrade and looking forward to the sound improvement.
I have missed having a decent sound system since my Golf MK7 GTI with the Dynaudio upgrade.

Many thanks.
