VOLKSWAGEN IN INDIA

In an interview Mr Joerg Mueller (Pres & MD) confirmed to the Indian press that the commercial vehicle arm of VOLKSWAGEN is looking at India with great interest. " Our commercial vehicle team will come to India next week and study to stoduy the market" he said.
VOLKSWAGEN was decades not interested into the Indian market for commercial vehicles as well as for private cars and now suddenly by a study of the COMMERCIAL VEHICLE TEAM they think they might be able to penetrate into the phalanx of a cost dominated market by the local players as TATA, ASHOK-LEYLAND and EICHER.
SO BLAUAUGIG UND EINGEBILDET KOENNEN NUR DIE WOLFSBUERGER SEIN

But is getting even worse today a big advertisment in Indian Times and I assume also in the other major Indian newspapers

WE GERMANS AREN'T REALLY KNOW FOR OUR SENSE OF HUMOUR, IT'S OUR CARS THAT MAKES US SMILE.

This statement may be true for the shareholders of VW but an Indian really cannot understand this statement. He is not aware that French and Italian see the Gernans as a folk without humour, which is from my point of view not true, but not important in this context. Why should an Indian buy an overpriced German car, just because the Germans have no sense of humour.
I am sure this advertisment will cost 100,000 not rupees but euro, please spend this money to the poor people there are here 26 Mio of them with an income less than 1 euro per day, they will be very thankfull
