I think it must be tough living in the VAG group. I'm sure that nearly every engineer in VW has the desire to produce the best looking and performing, lightest and luxurious, and cost-effective vehicle on the planet. But even when they do produce a great car, half the population says, "So, they want to be like Audi now?", or "For 3k more, I could get an Audi". It must be really sickening to hear that if you work for VW.
So I can understand that VW might not always toe the VAG corporate line. That being said, I don't think that the World needs YASUV.

My personal gripe is with VWoA, who seem to make some really bizarre decisions. Like dropping the 1.8T engine from 4dr Golfs. I really can't understand why they feel the need to try and pigeonhole their customers. I have a family, and a 2dr GTI is just not practical. The 4dr Golf is so practical - more so than the Jetta IMO.
