He knows from business? How can anyone still view him as successful business man with his long history of failed enterprises? He has less money than if he’d just thrown it all in an index fund when he inherited it. And he’s worth far less than he claims because his brand only has a $3b valuation in his own mind.

Can we not have option C? None of the above....

Something is fishy here....those results didn’t come from an extended oil change interval. I suspect your brother let his oil get dangerously low and probably also hasn’t changed his air filter in years.

I’ve driven it and am contemplating it as a replacement for the GTI but living in Canada who thought that heated seats should only be available on the top trim model and with an auto? I mean heated seats. What doesn’t have heated seats these days (in Canada)?

My point is you’re out to lunch if you think:

I tend to agree with this. It seems manufacturers are becoming less and less adventurous with redesigns and instead following the Porsche model of making successors almost indistinguishable from their predecessors.

Uh? Really? The Veyron could only pull 0.99g on the 200ft skidpad and is out performed by dozens of ever day sports cars like the Z06, Viper, 911 GT3, TT RS....

So did VAG actually write this for you David or did they just pay you to do it?

Really? It was a 60 yard dash? They couldn’t even complete a single lap?

No, I’m saying luxury mats don’t cost $1,200 (its already well established that Porsche’s options prices are exorbitant).

Nope, sorry. Just a ripoff.

Well, the order only says the have to “submit” a fix. Not that is must be acceptable to the EPA/CARB. They’ve already submitted two so I dont see this as being much of a worry for VW.

So what drugs did you take to come up with this fantastical dream world? Expect a free fix and a cheque for a nominal amount (likely less than $1,000). The buy back. Will. Never. Happen.

Tire pressure must have been off a couple PSI....

Curb weight also omits any options, factory or dealer installed. It’s the absolute minimum the vehicle could weigh.

Logic would be not paying $1,200 for floor mats, but okay.....

Meh. Really it’s only because VW refuses to let anyone run at Ehra-Lessien. The Venom is quicker and if it’s not “production” enough for you the Agera R would also be faster.

Fair enough, but that is far different than saying “GM invented MRC”.

This is a myth and complete bullshit.

Never been cheated on (that I know of) unless you’re counting high school relationships....and my parents (to my knowledge) also avoided these issues.
