I get that they have a legacy to maintain and build upon, but then again, in the modern age… you’d think they’d address this head on, embrace the controversy and take it as an opportunity to rename the brand.

We’re no longer Volkswagen. Today we are proud to announce that Omniwagen is “a car not just for a people, but for everyone”.

Or whatever the fuck marketing comes up with.
