With VW's present attitude re customer service (requiring you to bring your
own KY) I would not buy ANY product they tried to offer. VW can go the way
of the Hudson, Kaiser,DeSoto, Plymouth,Crosley and many others. Learn to say
Ohia gazaimas and Con nichiwa! VW is too little ,too late.
For those who enjoy being miserable, I have three horse whips so youall may
take turns beating yourself or having someone else do it.  To add to the
enjoyment of the misery, we could even charge to use the equipment.
