Fwd: vw hate mail

[Chris Dyer]

Well vented. I partly agree...

But VW does more than just "own us." They engineer, test, build and market
ALL VAG products--from the Polo to the Diablo.  And the connection between
VW/Audi/Skoda/SEAT is almost (flame suit on) boiled down to slight model
differences and re-badging.

...and I think the Phaeten entering the US market is gonna be a white
elephant, confuse customers' view of VW, and piss off Audi salespeople.

PSI back to 0.0.
