The idea of VAG completely ignoring conventional wisdom, marketing advice of their own dealer networks, the screaming agony of the stockholders, and a basic kindergarten level of f’n judgment is both highly likely and with ample precedent. Therefore I predict a fine selection of convertible top colors for this…

I can’t agree. Sisco was the best.

fine, let’s talk about the ST seats some more.

um, it’s not supposed to be easy to get through those walls. She had to be MOVING.

1) stop treating people who buy new cars like idiots. Your baileywick is used car culture, and that’s bigger than just thumbing your nose at new Camrys.

you have several basic articles that you perpetually revomit:

I realize this may sound a bit like the Republican contenders for the throne of the solar system... and I apologize for that, but maybe, just maybe, it’s time we started to talk about kicking VW out of the country.
