I could go on about this....but I will summarize my thoughts:

I agree.

VW quality of materials and design has gone away since their golden era of 2002 - 2010ish. Those cars had great quality and better materials simply because they drew more of the same tech from Audi. My winter beater is a 2004 Passat 4 Motion Wagon. LOADED. It's better optioned than my 2003 Z4 and it's running well with 290,000 kms on it. But the drivetrain is essentially the same as the A6 of the same era.

The new VWs have cheaper production costs and thus quality to simply increase margins. They're going after Accords and Camry's not 3's and C's.
