Volkswagen Scouting a Cure for ‘Big Company Disease’

If VW can use IPOs to unleash its many brands and let them peer over the shoulder of the start-up Scout Company to learn how to be more entrepreneurial, it could spark a renaissance at Volkswagen.

My uncle just retired from over 45 years the Auto industry... sales & then financing & dealership management for JLR. He started out selling the IH brand under AMC as a teenager. I'd be lying if I said he didn't predict almost every move VW's made since acquiring the Scout name what now seems like eons ago. He and I have been giddy AF since the first announcement.

Do you guys Really want to shake up the Industry? Find the old molds and pressing dies for Vintage models & start offering replacement parts to keep our Scouts on the road for another 55 years. You probably wouldn't make much money on them... but it would make repairs easier & cheaper, and keep the few Originals easier to insure. Replacement part costs are bats%&t.

Offer a Packaged or Dealership-installed BEV conversion kit. Many Scout owners like myself could easily get by with a couple hundred miles of range & Middle-Of-The-Road hp/tq. Make the kit universal enough to fit any Scout, old Bronc, Jeep, Ram Charger, etc.

I've had this article sent to me by a few people now who are just hearing of the New Scout for the first time. Keep up the good work, team.

Wow
Read the article and now I think I’m more impressed. The team walked away from their 401Ks and comfort of VW. Tells me it’s sink or swim for your team so here’s hoping you hit the nail on the head. Keep showing the execs at VW that you were all right in knowing what we’ve all been saying about bringing back an icon and build it into the best EV company out there.

Chris and I both echo your enthusiasm not just because of our direct involvement in the company but because we really want to see this be successful because honestly, I'd love to genuinely call it my next vehicle. Having spent most of my life around automotive companies, this is the most excited I've been in a long time. It won't make everyone happy, but in this modern world it will make a lot of people happy.
