The guy's name is something like R. Knox. If so he's on a real rampage against VW for percieved "wrongs" that VW & dealers have done him. He'll blow the slightest thing way out of proportion. He'll even expound on subjects that have no basis in fact. Also, he loves to quote an "Advertising Age" (the world's automotive authority??) article from 3 years or so ago that details VW's lack of US sales. I think that half this guy's life is dedicated to attacking VW. Somehow I doubt that EV owners all over the world are continuously running their A/C. Jim Davis 87 GL Syncro 88 GL Wolfsburg
