I am going to defer to one of our European members in regards to the question about other cars like Volkswagen which certainly have price sensitive buyers. I am not aware of what the relationship is between Volkswagen and their unions.
I had to go back and re-familiarize myself with J M Keynes as I've slept a few nights since reading anything about him. Yep: He's the government must control the economy economist and he's recently fallen out of favor in many courts.
As an Aside: I didn't realize until I looked the Keynes was a avowed homosexual.** Well he was an avowed homosexual until he reached middle age and fell in love with a Russian Ballerina whom he married. From that point on he was apparently straight which raises a question for me.
The Gays and their supporters claim they are born Gay and no effort to turn them straight will be successful. Keynes seems to pretty much belie this belief.

**I doubt if this was brought up in my Macro economics class back in the 1960s!! grin
