I certainly agree with this.  VW has a racket going.  It's called maximizing
the margin.  BTW, I cut my teeth on early rabbits and sciroccos.  These cars
are the definition of cheap, reliable, practical transportation.  I
sometimes find it hard to believe that VW made these cars AND the vanagon.
The two seem so different.  The body lines and vast cargo space of the
vanagon has attracted me, but the mechanicals scare me sometimes.  I guess
you take the good with the bad.....   Don't get me wrong,  I wouldn't trade
my vanagon for anything.
