Actually I had to turn back flips to get anybody from VWOA to reply at all,
and all information was fed to them to deny or affirm, there was no
evidence that they ever once read the list or wanted to.

I could name several interesting vendors who lurk and don't talk but there
is no reason to believe VW monitors the type2 list. I don't think they care
about us.

Did you notice the new "Beetle" is really a Golf and it's $300 a month?

I don't think they care about us.

I wish I had the money they wasted advertising in VW Trends about how much
they cared.
