Supporters of VW leadership argue that scrapping the modernization plan is a necessary show of fiscal discipline, maintaining that preserving cash now outranks speculative long-term projects when capital is scarce.
Supporters of VW leadership argue that scrapping the modernization plan is a calculated retreat to preserve cash and bargaining leverage, since survival—not sentiment—dictates which commitments a firm can afford to keep.
