Bernt Pieschetsrieder is out

Bimmerista · 11-07-2006, 05:45 PM

VW supervisory board has voted to get rid of him.

Piech strikes back from behind the curtain

What is people's reaction to this?

Was BP a good influence on VW and BMW or not ?

A press release announced that BP is steping down as CEO at the end of this year, Martin Winterkorn, Audi chef is stepping up .

Winterkorn is Piech protege, so it looks like Piech got his way after all - even if BP survived the fit of rage of the union members 6 months ago.
