you are all on crack...
What come on! VW's kick ass. Every car i've owned has been a VW, which is only two hah but anyway. And they are by far the most apple oriented car than any other brand.
For some reason I've always thought they went together. They both totally have that young appeal to them. And as for reliability every car has problems, it's the same as with cell phone companies, VW has had a poor track record in the past but have you seen there current offerings! Compare a jetta with a civic, or a corolla. It's a much nicer car than both of those. I have 20,000 miles on my 2005 GTI and it runs great. I've had a couple things break but they've been minor and were fixed immiedietly. My mom owns a mazda and had her check engine light on forever, and my dad has a ford where the damn gas cap door stays open that was eventually fixed. These are all brand new cars that things happened to. You can get a lemon from any manufacturer.
Get over it people, if anything Apple seems to play with like companies. ATT or Cingular when they were them, was a likely choice for the iPhone, they always had the coolest phones and the youngest image about them. VW is the same way. BMW's are sweet cars but they are hardly as interesting as a VW. Yeah so what you got a beamer, they have there problems too. They had a huge overheating issue several years back. Have you ever heard of an r32 it whooped the crap out of a BMW 130i in a race. Have you heard of a DSG transmission it's way better than BMW's SMG transmission, it's been quantitatively proven that its faster.
The other thing is that most mac owners I know drive VW's. So it just makes sense.
It's so funny that these two companies are collaborating because I've always thought of them in the same light, i'll be excited to see what they come up with. I think all of my friends even saw that my purchases are with like companies.
So go drive you bland old honda civic if you want.
And I like hondas, but i don't think they are as nice as VW's.
