We have our back against the wall. We can't give anything anymore, ... The only thing we can give is the future of Volkswagen.

Our German factories must be able produce at prices appropriate for export.

The next three years will be decisive for us, ... If we don't succeed in the next three years, there'll be an acute crisis at Volkswagen.

When we export to the United States, to the NAFTA region, we lose three-digit-million numbers, ... That raises questions about our European production facilities.

The problems aren't dissimilar to what I worked on at Chrysler, ... We have to work on our cost-competitiveness, we need to improve our quality, and we need to come up with new and exciting vehicles.

[Volkswagen] is a company in crisis, ... People need to understand that. They have to change.
