Re: Volkswagen on top
So will the Jetta be the new Corolla?
I always liked VW styling, but their reliability track record isn't even close to Toyota and Honda. That's far more important than styling to me. It's why I have a Corolla...
The big 3 are toast. This hybrid/compact wave was the next big thing, and they totally missed it. I find it ironic that GM now has to bet on the Volt to be their savior.
They would be so far ahead of the pack if they would have built upon the EV1 concept instead of scrapping it.
Dummies.
