“Hey people actually really want this thing! Stick it in the “never build” file with all the others.”

Your yearly maintenance bills must be close to the GDP of a small Caribbean country.

I used to own a 2003 W8 Passat, I’m currently on my second 2008 V10 TDI Touareg and I also own and E60 M5, a Cayenne Turbo S, Audi RS4 and a Land Rover Discovery...I wouldn’t call myself a hero but I definitely know my service advisors extremely well.
