LOL. All you people buying Audis are just donating shitloads money to the 'poor' executives of the Volkswagen group. They are ripping you off and you all are too brand-obsessed to care!

10% operating margin is not that much. If you are backing a car company doing lower, they are not managing their business properly.

@jeff-daGull You either no absolutely nothing about business or you are truly some idiot about expenses/revenue; General Ledgers and bottom lines. If I am making a nice positive cash flow, this is obviously better than LOSING money. Additionally, when you make 10% PROFIT on BILLIONS and BILLIONS of dollars, I'd say any company in the state is OK. Remind us all not to hire you any time soon as an accountant for our company.
