Its a promotional gimmick and they expected that somebody would post this on every discussion forum, and it worked marvelously.

Money goes to charity, company gets lots of cheap publicity. No scam involved.

Update I see where VW has recalled millions of the new beatles...VW = junk

[Subie2]

Sure. Because VW is the only car manufacturer out there that has had to mass recall vehicles. Guess most makes equal junk then with that logic.

The style is bland even for it's class.

I wasn't really referring to the styling, which is always subjective. To get the Jetta down to the new $15,995 price, VW cheapened pretty much everything on the car. There was always the feeling that while a Jetta cost more than its competition, you were getting higher quality materials and a better "feel". They've taken all that out just to hit a price point. I fear that VW has moved away from their base to chase the mass market and it will come back to bite them.

As I have said for years.
It is not that you can work on a VW, it is that you are always working on a VW.
