So, now the new German goverment is palnning to raise taxes on cars leased / bought in such way, meaning such customers will decrease the demand and hurt the premium market sales.

Bad prognose for all the premium carmakers - especially the German ones as Germany being their biggest single market.

Ehh, you have no clue. Please inform yourself about tax reforms before posting bullshit
