这段文字记录呈现了发言人的一项个人预测，重申了他们长期以来的信念——在本十年伊始，他们首次提出大众汽车及其他大型传统汽车公司将无法挺过本十年。发言人表示，如今已到本十年的后半段，没有任何变化能改变这一预测。他们认为，这些公司之所以“大势已去”（或“已经无力回天”），是因为它们未能在5到10年前采取必要行动，现在“为时已晚”，它们已无法挽回。尽管发言人并不希望这些公司倒闭，但他们断言这些公司已身负“致命伤”。 **请注意：** 这段文字记录完全是发言人对汽车行业的个人预测、观察和观点。它不包含任何新闻报道、事实报告或可以被概括为“新闻”的外部信息。

This transcription presents a personal prediction from the speaker, reiterating their long-held belief, first articulated at the dawn of this decade, that Volkswagen and other large legacy auto companies will not survive the current decade. The speaker states that, now in the second half of the decade, nothing has changed to alter this prediction. They argue that these companies are "cooked" due to their failure to take necessary actions 5 to 10 years ago, and it is now "far too late" for them to recover. While expressing no desire for these companies to fail, the speaker asserts they possess "fatal wounds." **Please note:** This transcript consists entirely of the speaker's personal prediction, observations, and opinions regarding the auto industry. It does not contain any news items, factual reports, or external information that can be summarized as 'news'.
