    No more Golfs? WTF?

    http://www.spiegel.de/wirtschaft/0,1518,559716,00.html

    My extremely bad German must be misleading me, can anyone expand on this?

    I think it says VW will stop making Golfs for USA/Aus? I dont believe it, but can someone translate anyway?

    Dont be so sure. I can read German and that article flat out says that the Golf might not be sold to Australia, Brazil and America citing that its not bringing VW enough money. He wants a profit of 5% on all sales of cars but at the moment they are only making 3.4% profit.

    Hope its not true.
