Actually, most of the regular car buying public, have no idea how they sell their cars. Since they don’t have a dealer network, the only info available is on their website, I guess. No TV ads or anything.

MEH!

This launch is going to be a disaster.

This is Jalopnik - all we care about is the TQ #’s

LOL - so true.

I drive a 2013 Passat TDI - I consider the new models (2015 and 2016) to NOT be a new model but a very slight refresh (new headlights and taillights don’t really make this a new model). More like the 12-14 Passat is NMS 1.0 and the 2015-16 are NMS 1.25

A current model Passat.

Um, it’s no joke that you are uncomfortable talking about race. You may want to look for your safe place.

Why is VW crushing Gen1 cars? What does this mean for the possibility of a gen1 fix? 

Actually I’m in an interracial marriage myself, and my wife also comes from an interracial family (her grandparents had to elope as mixed marriages were illegal in our town back then), and apparently, more comfortable around racial discussions than you...

You said you were having problems with MS. I mention that MS is not immune to problems (which you ACTUALLY STATE IN YOURT POST), thereby AGREEING with your statement.

And now, strangely, this commercial is giving me a boner. Thanks.

The album cover really sells the idea.

I know. No one has ever had a problem with a Apple product.

Not to make light of the situation - but “Touch of the tar brush” would make a really cool band name...

Hmmm. My C6 with a FOUR SPEED automatic pulls about the same RPM at freeway speed and nets about 25 MPG as well (versus 8 speeds). Thank Dog for technology!

I liked it better when Ferdinand Piëch was menacing the castaways on TV’s LOST. Just let him back on the damn island already!

I spent the better part of a decade working at an ad agency. Always thought that advertising was better than TV programming. Oh the story you craft in 30 or 60 seconds!

My first thought when I see Republicans voting against their best interests:

I feel sorry for his wife the most - I mean she’s expecting kid #5, is still married to a pedo and a cheater. This means that all of their potential TLC money is out the door. And on top of that she’s stuck in that fucked up Duggar sex cult the family belongs to.
