Let's map out the reality of what's happening here and the likely path for the next 20 years
These cars initially exported to Africa. Mistakes keep getting ironed out.
Then export to Mid East. More mistakes ironed out.
Then Eastern Europe. Then the subtle campaign begins to tell us how these cars are just as reliable or even more so.
Meanwhile the managers and vps for these markets keep getting promoted because well they are simply more profitable then everyone else.
To extend profits these cars get into Western Europe and the us.
At that point the assembly plants in Europe are simply not competitive so they have to be scaled back and shuttered.
10 years later the German average Joe are hurting from the economic downturn of loss of manufacturing and jobs.
They blame the Turks for taking their jobs sweeping floors. Governments change hands, etc.
The disrupter here is going to be robotics. That is what's really going to the interesting twist for better or for worse.
