How so? Your response is puzzling, at best.

I’m still buying a Volkswagen in a couple weeks’ time. At this point, after being plugged into world affairs for so long, I’ve completely lost faith in any large corporate entity. They’re all lying pieces of shit that only care about the almighty dollar. But I can’t build a car myself, and VW makes some nice ones. So,

I believe a more appropriate title is:

Yes, but has anybody actually sat down and compared what this is equal to in terms of output that already exists?

I actually went to a VW dealer by me this afternoon, since I’m buying/leasing within the next couple weeks. They all know about it, and they’re not happy, but the dealers haven’t been specifically talked to about the issue yet. There’s apparently a GMs-and-owners meeting taking place in the next day or two to discuss

This is great news ... for me, because my girlfriend and I want a MY2016 SportWagen (TSI, natch), and lease prices are just a bit too high for our liking. The immediate drop in dealership foot traffic should give us a leg up in negotiations.

Well, guess my girlfriend and I are buying the gasoline SportWagen, then.

But they didn’t just rename it. They put it on a whole new platform, a platform that doesn’t include the Jetta, just the Golf.

[Edit] Never mind. Test post, please ignore.

I’m praying this is just the new Juke in disguise, which it probably isn’t.

I’ll just copy what I wrote on Facebook:

Is that weird (and probably bad-sounding) for a flat-six? Yes.

Can you drill the appropriately spaced holes in the bumper, seeing as how the car’s unlikely to leave the states ever again?

Fixed that title for you.

FCA is fucked for upcoming CAFE standards, that’s why. They’re utterly, utterly unprepared, and nothing short of a merger will help them now.

They may as well slap a fucking Stratus badge on the back if that’s the case.

Every time I see something about this Lego, I keep wondering if it’s the same Matthew Inman that runs The Oatmeal. It wouldn’t have any bearing on anything, but I keep wondering.

I don’t know whether to say, “Good on you all for not laughing in his aloof-ass face,” or, “Shame on you all for not laughing in his aloof-ass face.”

Like, longer than a Paul Eisenstein question long.

I would kill for a parking lot of that size anywhere near my house.
