i've never heard the Car Talk show, but from what people have told me that
they've said, i don't think i would believe ANYTHING they said about
Volkswagens or any other "foreign" car. it seems (to me) they have some sort
of personal hatred for anything other than GM, Ford, or Chrysler.


i don't suppose one of their sponsors would be Consumer Reports, would it??
