You don’t keep an eye on your oil temp and pressure? I check every few minutes at the least. That stuff is the most important on-the-fly diagnostic you can get on a naturally aspirated car.

Still only has the weak 400 hp engine.

as it’s got anti-stall technology on it. Use your fists and feet of ham to make the car go kaput, and it’ll automatically kick the clutch in for you.

Sometimes I feel like Americans are vapid consumers of shit that doesn't make sense. Then I remember the middle east exists, and I don't feel so bad.

Peak torque at 3,200 RPM? Does this thing not have a twin scroll turbo? That’s pretty laggy by today’s standards. Most turbocharged cars now, especially performance ones, are getting peak torque numbers around the 1,200-1,300 RPM mark.

Listen, it just gets worse. There’s also a Dodge Caravan hidden inside of every Routan ever shipped. Granted, that’s only, like, three vehicles, but it just keeps going downhill in Wolfsburg.

But I said sedan, yo.

I’m going to hope really really hard too, though mainly that it’ll look better if it gets made. With our combined hoping powers we may just…

As a second car, what more could you fish for?

VW has 80 years of experience gassing people to death.
