Yes, they brought this on themselves.

VW was world renowned for making affordable quality cars, but at some point, they switched to selling only their reputation on the international premium market. Now their lack of backing up that reputation with products that live up to it in order to maximise profits is biting them on the arse.

It might have something to do with a drastic change in car manufacturers' management culture in the late 1990s and early 2000s. In the past, it was typical for a car manufacturer's CEO to have an engineering background and know well what's making their money, nowadays it's just a bunch of face and brainless MBA suits who would sell their own grandmother to make line go up.

that last part never occured to me, but it makes a lot of sense. like in that ford movie, when ford was really interested in that whole race car thing. that enthusiasm doesnt exist anymore.
