VW as a brand has a poor image in America. It's the small german car without any power. It's had the same boxy image for the last 20 years and consumers have been caught up in the sexy jap. cars.

THis is what I'm told, their line of cars is some of the worst in sales in the industry (when looking at the US market - in europe they sell).

i'm not so sure it matters much since audi and vw are one in the same, not to mention that Audi is only a more expensive VW and with more problems so I've heard. as far as the boxy designs, i really don't see it. especially with their new Scirocco in design. I for one really like the Eos.

in any case it can't be much worse than Mercedes lol

But what is striking about Mercedes' performance is its consistency. Of the 11 models reviewed by Consumers, none are recommended. Seven are left off of the list because of poor reliability; the remaining four are considered too new to predict.
Mercedes has the worst record of any automaker with that many models. For a brand that claims to be "engineered like no other car in the world," that is fairly frightening.
