Suppose they backed off the cliff, what then?

No. They were never officially sold in the U.S. (Canada, maybe?) as the design was considered too “risky”. The first watercooled VW we got was the Passat (if you don’t count Audis).

I don’t know why you wrote repeatedly that the 900 has a flat windshield, when it has perhaps the most deeply curved windshield of any production car from its era. Like what?

Man, I’ve known them since way back when deviantart was still cool. But like seriously, why not focus on their original work?

A fan of false dichotomies, I see.

And I stated from the get go, I don’t argue on red-herrings. If your argument had more than a tenuous, tangential, relationship to the topic at hand, I’d be motivated to offer one.

Do you?

Why do you think you’re owed one?

Dude, this guy’s like 13 years old. He doesn’t know anything about WWII. Not even his grandparents do.

Like I said, I don’t chase red herrings. If you derail, I’m not going to follow. Thanks again for playing. Cheers.

Do you even have a job?

I can’t be the only one that read that as “fuck to the gear you want”.

Nice try, but like a lot of suckers, you’ve fallen for the “money is the most important thing in a society” line, and I’m not playing that game. Try living in the real world for a bit, and I’ll get back to you. Cheers.

I don’t waste time going after red herrings, thus just made an observation. Cheers.

Good read. As well, you find nutjobs just generally love having sock puppet accounts. I noticed this years ago in comments on yahoo news stories, when I accidentally tripped up a homophobic biggot into continuing one line of hate-reasoning, under a puppet account he was using to state a different line of…

Well, it didn’t take long for the A.V. Club to go straight into the shitter after getting on this site. Mission accomplished.

This is laughably naive stuff here.

You win the award for most out of touch comment I’ve read today. Have you ever lived in reality?

Wait, what’s hoonigan?

You have to realize that in the 60s, nobody else was doing this. Car ads were all hard-sell, trading on styling and horsepower numbers. VW’s approach of talking about boring stuff and why it was like that, was pretty much unheard of then, but it became widely copied later.
