As a VW owner, I have three big complaints - One - The VW dealership experience is TERRIBLE - especially on the service side. Makes me want to buy a Lexus. Two - Two words - quality control Three - Why is the US the ugly sister with regards to the product line? The new Golf was on sale in Europe for 2 years before it came to the US. You CAN'T buy a manual transmission Passat 4motion (but you CAN buy a MT Audi...) Don't get me started on the whole Sharan / Polo thing too. The bottom line is if VW wants to suceed in the US marketplace, they need to treat the US with the same parity as the EU.

Look at the T-Rex if you want to find a slow seller. And don't forget that VW has the Chrysler sourced minivan in the works for next year - though I have no clue why anyone would buy one.
