Wuz me that posted about Lloyd.

The reason I said they were the "dealership" mats was that when I asked them for 
a listing of their retailers in the Seattle area, they gave me the names of all 
the local VW dealerships, as well as several VW specialty shops. It never 
occured to me to ask if the mats carried the VW logo.

It wouldn't suprise me - now that I think about it - if dealer part shops are 
free to buy these "accesory items" from whomever they choose
