The verdict from this VAG fanboy: meh. Front end treatment looks like a Ford Flex...and that's not a compliment. Back to the drawing board, VW. I liked the Toureg better, frankly.

Not being snarky, but do you have kids? I can't imagine forgetting that my daughters were strapped into their seats, I love them so, even when they are driving me nutzo.

Not sure what exactly you're making assumptions about, but I am a parent. Were I not familiar with the responsibilities and priorities that (damn well should) dominate an adult's life once they are responsible for a child, I would have kept my mouth shut.
Since there seems to be a problem with reading comprehension…

If you cannot separate your children (important) from a task (mundane) you should be sterilised before you do any more harm to our collective gene pool.

When we are performing mundane, every day tasks, our brain tends to switch to a sort of "autopilot". The reptilian (so to speak) part of our brain takes over and performs these tasks without really our full participation. This happens a lot with driving. Ever turn into your driveway after your commute and think "wait.…

No shit. It's a kid, it's your kid.... FUCKING REMEMBER THAT THEY ARE IN THE BACK SEAT.......

It's the way of the world. Idiots exist and then we have to invent ways to coddle them, or prevent their mayhem.

This dealer is an asshole, but for anyone stretching their budget to buy their fantasy car I highly recommend GAP and new car replacement coverage. They would be in the same boat if some idiot hit them. The law only requires the person at fault to cover the actual (depreciated) cost if the car gets totaled, not the…

Once again a miss, not a hit, since any parent presumed conscientious enough to buy/use this are already conscientious enough to not need it.

The dealership doesn't owe them a new car. The dealership (or its insurance company) owes them what the old car was worth when they handed it over. The couple needs to just demand that and forget a replacement car that will minimize the dealer's cost anyway.

Some Ford dealer should jump on this. Give them a brand new GT500 for whatever their insurance paid for the ZL1. If they agree to be used in advertising of course. Run that ad 24x7 in that area.

Roll cage with halo bar is the difference between walking away and being Paul Walker.

The girl in the passenger seat was obviously helping him steer.

The tattoo actually looks pretty good. Just because you don't like the car doesn't mean the tattoo is bad.

I like it actually. It's a horrible car without a doubt but unless the tattoo is a Seinfeld joke gone too far or meant to be ironic, I dig it. Maybe it was his first car or it has other sentimental value. Seems very Jalop to me.

Hey, if it makes him happy, why not?

And the morons who idolize Walker will continue to the blame the car for their idol's death. Rodas ran out of skill and they paid the consequences for it. Don't be idiots on the street in your Civics, kids.

It's mind-boggling to me how many people on here are still saying things like "but, but, it could have been a (insert any assortment of mechanical components) failure, or he could have (insert any driving error), or (any external environmental factor) could have caused the crash".

But they were indeed going too fast, and that's why they're dead.

It doesn't matter. Whether was going 40 or 80 or 100 or more simply doesn't matter.
