I know that this is somewhat off topic but the writing in this passage is very odd:
> “This means the future entry-level Volkswagen can be equipped with new functions throughout its entire life cycle,” he said. “Even after purchase of a new car, the small Volkswagen can still be individually adapted to customer needs.”
I would rewrite it as:
> “This means the [car] can be equipped with new functions throughout its entire life cycle,” he said. “Even after purchase [...], [it] can still be individually adapted to customer needs.”
The original reminds me a bit of renowned author Dan Brown: https://onehundredpages.wordpress.com/2013/06/12/dont-make-fun-of-renowned-dan-brown/ https://onehundredpages.wordpress.com/2013/06/12/dont-make-f...
